so I was driving home from work yesterday when I thought about how dirty my bike was from the weeks worth of rain. I decided I 'd washe her when I got in and so I pulled in and rolled backwards down hill till I reached the spigot. I easily rolled it up on the centerstand and began the job. As I got near the lower right fairings, to my horror, I saw the oil level was completely filling up the sight glass. I've seen that before and it was no fun. A float had stuck and my petcock seal had leaked and gas leaked into my oil and so after her bath I pushed her up to the shop and began disassmbly. When I did the left side first and then I got down to that lower bolt on the fairing and saw the sight glass once more. It was now nicely between the min and max levels... what???
yep, it had been checked while on a hill... I felt pretty silly. not to waste my effort I cleaned everything I could get to. Atleast its clean!!!
