Thanks for the advice folks!

Can anybody give me good, simple instructions on how to change the oil in my Bird. This will be my first time so I don't want to mess it up. I found a pretty simple way to do it on the superblackbird.com site. Does anyone else change their oil that way? No fairing removal sounds pretty good to me. Thanks.

Thanks Helvet. I'll give that a shot too. BTW, did you notice your fuel consumption being affected?

Thanks alot. I'll have the thermostat changed and see if that helps. Can't hurt anyway.

Hey guys. I need your help. Last year I was stuck in traffic for over two hours crawling along. The Bird overheated and I had some overflow from the reservoir. I subsequently had a flush done and all the sensors checked. The dealership told be all was well but it still seems to me that it runs hotter then it use to? The needle never gets into the red but it does go high and the fan works. It also takes a few hours for the frame to cool down after a ride. I can't say for sure if I remember it doing that before?? My mileage also sucks this year but then again I live in Ottawa (Canada) and it's been dam cold this year. Any chance I have a bummed thermostat? Would I have any other signs if anything major had happened? The bike runs great apart from that. Paranoid in Ottawa.... Thanks
