It's always something.

Rolled the bike out to ride to the shop this morning, and found this.



One of the nice things about running Redline is there's no doubt what I'm looking at here.

Time to put a bow on this one.

FINALLY back together. New battery arrived today. The Antigravity guys were good to me. Mine was about a month away from being out of (prorated) warranty, and they let me swap it out at a very deep discount.

Found out the hard way that I'd over tightened the pinion shaft bolt. That was a bit of a head scratcher. After a half dozen tries reinstalling the outer primary, I decided to RTFM. It was right there: Reinstall pinion bolt and torque to 3 to 6 ft lbs. That got it.

This bike had never had a sumping problem. Until now. Holy *********. First start it unloaded a good quart+ onto the floor. What a mess.

Gave her a quick 20 mile shakedown run. The new belt pulley ratio is wonderful. Sits right at 3200 RPM at 75 MPH. Shouldn't have waited until the old one broke before making that change.

The new clutch is total butter. Smooth.

Thanks to the Evo crew here for all the advice and ideas along the way. This group is the best!

Hope it's a minor thing and not hard to find.

When it stops leaking, it's time to add oil.
Hope it's something simple to correct.

Transmission

the plugs loose or the case/cover are cracked
Hopefully 1 of the first 2.

I get that, and we're waiting for him to tell us which one.

Mine looked like that after last years trip to meet Omaha.
Turned out the bolts that hold an exhaust bracket to the trans were loose'
