Sump bolts have been recalled and require replacement. Contact your dealer
or import agent to check if your bike is affected.

A squ'id (as it is a contraction) is a squirrely kid. Normally delivered as
an insult to (young) riders that spend their days thrashing their rides by
running as fast as they possibly can. Points are awarded for scraping
sliders, body parts and fairings in that order. If you come upon a group of
riders on beat up 600's that look as if they've been towed behind a truck
for the last 500 miles, be warned - you are in squid territory.

"Vehicle Identification Number" or in other words, that big number stamped
on the frame.

Don't feel bad - I sometimes have a problem following my own thoughts....

If we toss something out that is wrong or doesn't make sense, don't
hesitate to speak up.
