You can't fix crazy. Sometimes people get so hung up on what they think is an "easy" way to buy fast that they can't let go.

See, now you've got me started!

A guy we did some engine mods (high comp kit, Ti valves, cams, crank, rods...the works )and paintwork for this spring, brought his bike in on a flatbed last week; said the bike's clutch was slipping and kept "stalling".

This guy spent almost $8k on mods, paint and custom motor work for a Kawasaki Mean Streak...lotta money!!! He's put about 8K miles on it since May. When we send bikes out with major engine work we give the owner a break-in and service sheet that tells how to break in and when the next oil change and/or service is due (usually 200 miles to get all the metal shavings from break-in out) ......


He had not brought the bike back in for service since then.

We put the bike up on the lift, pulled the drainplug..........................



........and out came ........







....almost a pint and a half of the burntest, chunkiest glop you ever saw........



....and some metal pieces.....


and that's it.........
















TOAST!
