A funny thing happened on my oil change. As usual, I let it drain (on the side stand) long enough for me to consume a six pack or so (three hours at least, I say in modesty). I also replaced the filter with the long Mobil filter (M-110). When filling up with a gallon jug of Rotella T I held back some to make sure I do not overfill. Lo and behold, I kept adding and adding, finally dumped the whole gallon jug and still, the dip stick aint wet except for the tip and ONLY when I screw it in. All that of course after I put it back on the center stand, running the engine and checking - no leaks. Now...my mind is wondering - either the longer filter took more oil AND the Rotella T jug was short of being a full gallon, or what................other explanation is there? Hmmmm....a six pack does not make me woozey at all. So...I asked the missus to pick me up another quart at Wally's place and now all is fine.
On another note - Checked the tp, was short 4 lbs in front and 4 in the rear. Last two rides felt funky so....I inflated to specs + 2 (43 R and 38 F) and boy, does this bike ride again great. And now I think I feel the benefit of the Axxion brace installed two weeks ago.
