Quote: slight concern was the near "mess up" the technician told me about, by changing the oil filter and starting the test ride before they put oil back in it !!!

If that had happened to my bikes engine they would now be looking at the big end bearings and bores for any scoring or damage!!!! I cringe when starting my bike after the winter knowing the oil will take a very short while to circulate the engine, starting it and starting to ride with no oil...........................well I just could not sleep 'til I knew there was no damage.

Any other thoughts?
