Yea, I know what you mean... I am actually a deisel mech. but its all a box of bolts to me (just a smaller box sometimes....), when I start modding mine, i am going to do it all myself(except for the tune of course). With a little mech. knowledge and the .org, you can do anything

What was the cause for the dent in the radiator? Sounds like it will be a nice ride when it gets all done.

14k miles and ive seen a few go bad suzukis are the most common ive seen to have them go bad on, my buddies k9 busa just had his go bad after 6k miles. Its more of a sometimes they arent installed correctly thing at the factory and wind up with a small slice in the side. I had a fork seal go bad and had oil down the side casing around the seal and for the 8$ it costs to replace it id rather replace it than put it all back together and still have it leak if it was leaking.

previous owner was 54 and while trying to move the bike around in the garage he dropped it. He replaced the fairing with a new oem fairing but didnt replace the radiator. It runs perfect and doesnt over heat but since im taking the fairing screens out i dont want to look at it and want a black radiator.

Sorry but if it's not broke don't fix it! I know what your saying about being preventive. But no oil leak,, i would leave it alone.
Now if there was a reason, to remove the cover, for a shift kit, them yes!

From the looks of the way the oil is on the case i think its not fork oil i think its actual oil coming through the seal... ill know more tomorrow when i get up to the shop to look at it.. we have spent the last 4 days re arranging the shop since its chaos.. we've got 4 bikes in there were working on and have 3 cars including the drag car were building... so theres parts EVERYWHERE haha.

btw what all does a shift kit include on our bikes and what benefits does it give.. ive heard of a shift kit on an automatic car changing the valving but what is it on our bikes... probably a stupid question but ive got to ask
