I got to ride my bike most of the day yesterday running errands and put 250 miles on it. It does smoke when you start it up every time and I have been putting it on the center stand every time. So once again I hope that the valve seals will sell some and cut down on that in the future. It really does not bother me but the girlfriend was following me and said "What's wrong with your bike, cough cough" After a few miles it goes away and the level is staying steady so I am not concerned. I do see a little weeping from the oil pan gasket so I will probably replace that next winter, unless it stops this summer and I will just leave it alone.
I did notice that when I lean into a left turn either the center stand of the side stand scrapes the ground. I am thinking that I need to bend the part I push with my foot up a little. Is this a common problem? I looked at the spare I have and they both look the same.
