screeching sounds like clutch. You should be able to hold the bike fairly upright and get a good gaze at the window before dropping it back down on the side stand. Did it all the time with my SS. Can do it with the ST4 as well though there is more weight. Get the bike reasonably upright and see if the oil is somewhere between the marks every time you ride if you have an oil consumption problem (or even if you don't). Just takes a sec in the morning. |
