Had my Monster serviced this week-end at Riverside. 3k mi service - $260 plus extra $50 for front sprocket.
New sprocket makes all the difference in the world - I actually rode the bike back home on Mass Pike in a stop-n-go traffic at the worst time of the day and it never stalled or hesitated on me. Best $50 I ever spent so far.
My oil leak turned out to be combination of over-lubed chain and leaking oil window seal. Latter is apparently a known issue and was fixed in 5 minutes to my relief.
BTW, while I was wondering around, I came across a beautiful Triumph Speed Triple in aluminum silver. Looked great! Curious as to how they compare to Monsters? Anyone rode one?
Anyway, I'm back in business. Now, some sun would be nice.
