Picked up bike on Tuesday October 18, 2005 from OCHD, the neutral light went on in 5th gear. Returned to dealer and they found a bur on the drum within the transmission. Drove the bike for twenty five miles and stopped for gas, drove to store turned off bike and when I tried to start the bike it made some grinding noise and would not start. The engine light would not come on and it appeared that there was no longer the same compression. The bike was taken to my home via Triple A on a flat bed truck.

OCHD picked the bike up the next day on October 19, 2005 and replaced the ECM (Electronic Control Module) under the extended warranty contract. The extended warranty company has paid $6,900.00 in repairs as of October 22, 2005. I still have one full year of extended warranty available on this motorcycle.

I rode the bike for 500 miles in order to effectively break the new rings in I never exceeded over 3,000 RPM and ran the motor between 2,000 and 3,000 RPM for the first five hundred miles and changed the oil and filter at 66,707 miles on October 23, 2005, with Mobil One V-Twin.

On Sunday October 30, 2005, I rode the bike for 350 miles and was informed by three of my friends that I was riding with that I am blowing oil when I accelerate from a light out of both of my exhaust pipes. I pulled over let the bike idle for a few minutes and found that I was down ¾ of a quart of oil in only 359 miles. One of my friends also noticed that there was oil all over the front cylinder and it appeared to be coming from the head gasket and not the rocker-boxes. I called Bud at the dealer, made him aware of my problem, I also left a message for Tom at OCHD and I plan on dropping the bike off on Tuesday November 1, 2005.

After the dealer examined the motorcycle they determined that the oil filter did not seal properly which explained the oil loss, they also found that the fuel line underneath the gas tank was not secured properly and raw gas leaked all over the front of the motor as it dripped down the hot exhaust flange. I consider myself fortunate that there was not a fire or worse yet and explosion due to the raw gas hitting the front of my hot motor.

Rear tire replaced at 68,098 miles on November 18, 2005 due to screw penetrating tread, resulting in 4,498 miles of service.
