    Oil mess.

    Ok, 1st, I don't usually go to a dealer for service often. I do usually let them do my 1st service after purchase. I have never had a problem. This dealer has been good to me over the years and like I said, never had a problem, even though they haven't done alot to my bikes personally they do...

    Yes, I did just have my oil changed by a yamaha shop a few days ago. Che No but I think the smoke was blowing low and behind me. Didn't see it till I slowed in the subdivision.

    Oil mess.

    Long story short....oil cap came off while riding in very very windy conditions. On a highway at 65- 75 mph. Lost probably a quarter quart or less before I noticed smoke as I had slowed to turn in towards my house. Oil is everywhere on the lower half front to back. Question is what is the best...

    It was a battle. I bought this in the crate last week in March. I tried the other end and can't move it either. Glad I don't need it off. It's done , I'm glad!

    Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions. After completely removing the head, with the hole drilled completely through it, I used a bolt extractor in a drill to remove the scew. The threads were red from top to bottom. I don't know why! I now have my topcase mounted. Thanks again.

    Trying to mount givi sra2101

    I know. Nobody I have talked to has had issues. People that have seen it can't believe it won't move. Snap on impacts, manual impacts, ratchets, have all failed. Broke 2 hex sockets and a bolt extractor now. It won't come loose. Just drilled completely through it one end to the other won't move...

    This is the bolt I'm trying to remove. I have almost destroyed it and it still wont move. I haven't seen any hold like this before.
