[QUOTE="BCooper, post: 84341, member: 19466"] Your dealer is right about the hole acting as a vent. My only concern would be"how much dirt got in there?" You may want to do a couple of quick oil changes with some real cheap dino oil just to make sure you've flushed all the dirt out. Be aware. During break-in you will see all kinds of metal shavings in the oil filter, so don't let this alarm you. It is normal and may take 6 or 7 oil changes to see no more metal shavings. Go ahead and buy a bunch of oil filters now for the break-in. Some dealers have really been rippin' some people on these oil filters. You should be able to find them for around $8 or $9 each. They are re-usable, but you won't want to start re-using them until the metal shavings are about gone. Many others have lost their timing mark plugs and experienced the same "oil on the boot" phenomenon. Someone, I think it was Patman, mentioned that real metal replacement plugs are available, but I can't remember from where. The functionality of the stock tires is dependant on the terrain they are being used in. The stock front tire works very well on hard terrain, but not worth a damn on anything else. The stock rear tire isn't too bad. It actually performs okay over a wider range of terrain than the front. You need to post what kind of terrain and/or tracks you will be riding on in order to get good feedback on tire selection. Coop [/QUOTE]
