While I enjoyed the commentary on how to dispose of used oil, that wasn't really a factor in why I had the bike serviced. Anybody in the collective have something to say about my original questions? 1) What damage may have happened/should I be on the look out for after running the KLR from 10,000km to 15,000km (6,000 - 9,000 miles) without any filtering? 2) What can I/should I expect the dealership to do about this? --- In DSN_klr650@egroups.com, "Daniel Copeland" wrote:
