The bike is back... Besides a small exhaust leak, feels great.

BUT the reason why the engine took a big crap is quite surprising!

It seems that the shop that I bought the bike from about a year ago, had replaced the oil dip-stick. WITH THE WRONG ONE!!!!

The proper dip-stick, come to find out, is 50% longer than the one that I bought the bike with!!!

So everytime that I did an oil change I was putting more than 1.5 quarts over the maximum capacity! So after time, it killed the piston rings and was blowing more smoke than a politician.

I'd like to burn down the shop that sold me the bike!!!
