As Jim says, let’s get Bugnut ((Mike Laven) involved. He’s our nearest AAD in SC. He’s up to his keister in a big project at work right now but maybe July. We’re doing a RTE in Mississippi in May,, National rally is June, then nothing in July.Sounds good. When are you thinking?
Id be interested too! Speaking of maintenance does anyone know of someone around that can do valve adjustments, that is trusted? I just hit around 17K on my 2012, but have a gasket leak not bad, just annoying. I've done some minor work on the bike myself, but don't think I'm comfortable going in that deep right now! I reached out to Matt up in Maryland, which if he is still doing this would be a possible road trip for me!

Well, I did change the O-Ring out with the Murph's one, but I'm not saying its not still that. I did have to take it to the dealer the last year in extended warranty, i think i had the tire pressure sensors changed out and the gear indicator. The extended warranty paid for itself. Anyway, the mechanic there said that I had a leak in the gasket. Wouldn't surprise me, I think I put too much oil on one of my first oil changes.U sure its the gasket leaking and not the exhaust sensor O ring...?
Would love to take it to Fred, I bought his dvds a year or so ago. Watching them makes me more confident, but it still looks very technical and way beyond my comfort zone. I haven't done a long ride in some time, and the furthest I have gone in a single day is a little over 500! So that is a possibility, just have to talk the wife into letting me do it!!!Fred Harmon is in Mountain Home AR, just a day ride from NC. They don't get much better or more reliable than Fred for this, fredharmon@att.net.
