Quick update: Back from the trip to MO, no issues. Bike and drive ran great. Had the fluid changed this past Friday and although the fluid was a little darker than normal, there were no chunks. Back on the normal maintenance schedule. Still curious as to what caused it. More than likely a bad 600 mile fluid change, maybe a new guy doing the work, who knows.....
