Re: Living in an obstacle course



Patti, I would make it a point to take a long ride, 100-150 miles once a
week. This would allow the engine/oil temp time to rid itself of all the
excess fuel and moisture that it's aquired thru the week. I would also be
sure and change the oil and filter more often.
