After the Sunday ride today in the Columbia Gorge, definitely my "go to" now, I let the 79XS cool down in the garage. Came home on reserve..
Looking it over I found the left, lower exhaust pipe bolt gone. Prepped for a hardware run and improved both sides with new flange head metrics.
Drained the BS38'S into an aluminum catch basin, clean still. Proved the vacuum petcocks are still sealing as supposed to. Check.
Can't find anything else loose.
Oil is sparkling clean still.
Bugs on windshield
Need to pick up the Ethanol free 93 and be ready for an evening ride next.
