Took it for a test ride.
This bike is wonderful, it may make me forget how much I miss The Dirt Rat :P .
It runs great, pulls hard, the suspension seems immune to bottoming out, the brakes are good, and the ride is smooth and the seat is comfortable.
It pulled up The Hill Of Doom in second with the rear wheel spinning the whole way but under control. It was the easiest HOD ascent I've ever had!
I changed the oil and replaced the plug. The one in there was old but no oil or carbon, just a light chocolate color. :P
One of the oil leaks appears to have been the oil filter cover O-ring which I replaced. The other seems to be coming from the rocker arm retaining bolt on the valve cover.
This RFVC engine has very complicated valve gear and I don't know how to go about fixing this leak will have to ask Andy.
I'll post pics when I can but I gotta run now. :P
Just wanted to share the good news about the DR2! :P
