Which brings up another irritation....

Went for a ride yesterday after doing a valve clearance check.

While riding my foot slipped off the gear shift lever.

When I looked down, my boot and the lower frame of the bike were covered with motor oil.

Apparently I had neglected to tighten the threaded plug that covers the lower timing inspection port, and it had fallen by the wayside.
Adventure?

Now the bike is parked until I receive the replacement threaded plugs.

I ordered two, since I had stripped the left one during the valve check.

Sux 2 B U. <joking> I would think some other make of bike would use a 14x1 mm plug. Might be able to get one local? Of course probably many times the price from CSC. Don't forget o-rings, too.
