Ok, well that helps some... I didn't realize the gaskets were that
bad. I kind of figured the air filter was part of it, and I know they
charge around $60 for the oil.
The only reason I had them do it was time. I have the tools, just no
time to take the bike apart. He did say that I seem to really take care
of my bike (don't know where he got that idea...)
All I can say is thank God for VISA and tax returns. Maybe I'll pick up
some new tires while I'm at it... Any recommendations? (just kidding!)
