Maybe even try some Penetrating Oil if the Transmission Fluid doesn't seem to be working at first. Then use the Trans Fluid to keep things moving inside the Cap.
Correct as I mentioned in an earlier post and Arousal penetrating oil and or compressed air then use the trans fluid to lubricate the inside tumblers and bell cranks
dont use anything with graphite

Nicely done & if my calculations are correct & you are getting 4 gallons that's an extra 2 liters over the stock tank

Your calculation sounds about right. I didn't want to widen the Stock Tank, like I think MCD did. The Form and Shape as it is is beautiful, IMHO.

And I don't mind getting off the Bike at about 180 miles. I'm not one to take the Interstate Highways and pound out mile after mile after mile at 75 MPH.

I RIDE my 1400,...not Drive it. :bow:
