[QUOTE="BkerChuck, post: 1425647, member: 29320"] I had the "fast starter syndrome" issue once and it definitely makes the bike sound weird as you try to start it. I seriously doubt that your engine is "shot" at under 6ok miles. For some folks on here that would mean replacing their bike every 2 years! Get your bike out of that shop and as stated start with the basics. be sure oil is full and battery charged then go through the FSS starting process to get it fired up and let it run for a while to get up to temp.Probably should replace the missing valve cover bolt first. One missing bolt will allow for leakage but will hardly be spewing it out. I messed up last year on a valve check and had the cover gasket slip out of place and discovered it on the way to SEO. I monitored oil level and in almost 2k miles I added a mere 4 ounces of oil! Oil leaks can look worse than the actual amount lost so be cautious but not paranoid. Best of luck and keep us posted.
