Adam, I'm glad you brought that up. It is a long way from here to China. People, think about all of those enviornmental heating and cooling cycles these bikes go through before they even get to our shores. Everyone of those cycles can cause condensation. In other words, the oil, grease and brake fluid has contamination in them long before they get here. Protect your investment by changing all of the fluids and grease as part of the assembly process. You'll end up a lot happier.
