I hear you.  My plug that I put in a week ago is holding air, so for now I
am going to leave it there, not push it to hard, and hope I can get by until
I replace both tires with the Bridgestone 010.

But, went to get the bike out and ride to the shop and get an appointment
set up for the 6000 miles service and noticed 2 quarter size spots on the
floor under the bike.  One was really fresh - oil.  Looked all around and it
seems as if there is some oil coming somewhere on the back side of the
motor, around or in the area of the front sprocket.

Any idea where that could be coming from?  I am having that checked when the
bike goes in since it is still under warranty.
