[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1310476, member: 18625"] I had decided to ride my last 10/10ths (10k in 10 days) in June and then convert my '05 (Royal Blue) to a local riding bike and bring up the on deck '08 FJR for long distance riding over the course of winter. The June ride would have been the '05's 10th 10/10ths and more importantly, my last one. I wanted to roll 300k by the end of the year. On the return from my last ride I noticed oil dripping on to the header/exhaust and smoking. After further investigation, I do not believe what I THINK I see. Now comes the time for a level head to decide what to do. I need to filter out my attachment and personal "Feelings" about this bike and make a level-headed decision. I am itching for a Gen 3 and to convert the '08 for my LD bike. Unless the fix is easy and painless ($), This is truly an end of a wonderful era. "Royal Blue" sitting with 262k (9) 10/10ths and 2 IBRs [IMG]https://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt129/101stpathfinder/P5140431_zpszzqf7xqu.jpg[/IMG] I would appreciate any advice or input. Right now I do not have a manual and could really use a photo posted on this thread of the underside of an '05 for comparison purposes, because what I think I am seeing is pretty bizarre and I do not want to jump to conclusions. Thanks -Tony [/QUOTE]
