I just got back from a Green River ride and set to task of the oil changes and what not.
I bought this bike 11 months ago and have filled a 5 gln bucket with oil from my changes.
The bike has only givin me two hicups.
1- a sending unit for the radiator fan.
2- a radiator cap that never seated but never lost any real fluid. But you could smell it when hot. Fumes where noticed the day I rode with 30 * temps.

Now I have done lots of upgrades to things but none was the bikes fault.:lol8:

I love this big bore Katoom and she has treated me very well with all my abuse like speed shifting.

She climbs like a raped ape in the sand and has never swapped not even once in the whoops.

I do believe I have a keeper.



I have often thaught about a little 200 Katoom 2 smokie and this still may happen but this bike rocks.

As great as this bike is I have however had a stabb at Marks 570 THey are not to farr apart other than the seats:lol8: that 570 is the shizzle.
In the wide ass open washes that bike is a blast just stand up:) His seat sucks ass and feels like a 2x4. But damif it don't get with the program if you hit it hard.......
