Ron, I wasn't trying to bust your ***** in my first post. I kinda figured you had a new bike, and hadn't had it for very long. Just the fact that you took the derby cover off without knowing what was behind it, showed me that you hadn't done much research. If you had checked, you would have known what oil was there, right? So, I figured the best answer was to ask you to read the simple owners manual, I didn't say the service manual, just the basic owners manual. That way, you learn the knowledge, instead of just having someone tell you. A person who learns it themself, will remember it much better than the guy who just had someone else tell them the answer (the fish parable).

And I just love the guys who come on and complain about my post by saying:
But, they also gave no information at all. All they wanted to do was bash me. So, I guess it's OK for them to do it, and have an opinion.....but not me??

 

Sorry to make you think I was trying to bash you. I agree with your latest post. I had my derby cover added at the dealer( they did it free during a routine maintenance ). As I had no idea what I would have been getting into, I would not have attempted it myself without totally researching what I was getting into. Sometimes we get a little excited about our new shiny parts though and jump in and get ourselves into trouble, and it's nice to know if you do, you have a place to go to get some help.

 

I didn't think I was rude at all in the first post? Helpful, in a self-help sort of way, but not rude?

I was told that too. But just like this poster, I didn't listen to that advice either. If I had listened to it, I would not have posted. If this poster had listened to it, he wouldn't have posted either.


Yea, I can't imagine why I thought some people were trying to bash me?

But I've got tough skin, I just come back smiling. Smiling, or laughing. Sometimes both.

 

Hey, were all friends here right.
