I appreciate the encouragement, but the old scoot is done for this year. That is transmission lube on the floor. With over 125k on the clock I am not opening anything up without doing a complete overhaul and I can't get that done by the end of the season here in north central Indiana. I'm just a fair weather rider so I only got about 23k worth of riding in this year, but I can live with that I guess.
On the bright side though, this is all the excuse I need for several performance upgrades that I have been wanting to do. Question now is how many cubes when it goes back together? Which cam? Head work? New exhaust too? Motor mounts? And? And? So many options and Christmas is just a few weeks away!
