Service director report by Jamie. Bikes come in sick and are leaving healthy! A customer called with rear brake not operating brake light. Jamie said if he has not changed the brake fluid, he needed to do that and push the brake pedal down hard. With that he mentioned that we should be changing the 3 Dot5 oils front, rear brakes, and clutch. In the manual it says every 3 years to be changed, Jamie mentioned every 5 should be ok, and if it is yellowish, change it! He discussed something new that he has not seen before. He was working on a May 99 build date bike, and he took the floorboard off for a motor install, and he noticed a die cut piece of rubber was installed on floorboard mount. He explained that the factory must have been trying to fix an issue that customers were complaining about the vibration on floorboards.
