My '00 was leaking around 30k miles from the C/S. After reading posts about the 'O' ring I replaced just that and that cured the leak. Dan P Thumpin' in Tallahassee on a '97

Meant to reply earlier. Here is a letter I posted earlier: "6-21-05 I weighed my bike fully loaded for the Moab trip added my weight and came up with about 900lbs. Did fine on the trip except I had to go to fourth on the mountain passes to maintain speed. Alan Henderson A13 Iowa" I might add that I have upgraded the front and rear springs. I think I put a straight rate 560/inch on the rear that I got from Arrow Head Motorsports at www.angelfire.com/ut/moab/index.html. I have had excellent service from Fred. I run heavier oil in the front than stock but that is personal preference. Alan Henderson A13 Iowa 6-3 370 pounds and losing slowly
