It is a small bolt under the leftside of the engine...it is nearly hidden if you have a bash plate...it is underneath a rubber cover type cap... Kurt

Hi, folks. Getting ready to leave for Mid-Ohio tomorrow. Anyone who wants to get together for dinner: We will meet at the Keyhole parking area at the end of racing on Saturday, July 15. I will have a A13, blue/green, with Ortlieb bags and yellow Tim racks, tall Kawasaki windshield. You can get a peek at what I look like at my web page (listed below.) I'm the guy in with the yellow RF-800 and the Hi-Viz Darien if you wave along the road. We're going to eat at the Outback Steakhouse, 820 Lexington-Springmill Rd Mansfield Oh. If you want to get in touch with me at the races, I can be reached at the Mansfield Fairfield Inn, ph. 747-2200. My buddy and I (we'll forgive him his CBR 600) will be arriving Thursday evening. Since I really don't know how many of us will be there, we'll just show up and wait in line. Looking forward to seeing all of you who will be there. Ralph Ralph E.
