Well, I picked mine up from the shop, finallly on Sat (9/24) they had fixed the carb, but not the oil leak, so I asked what the deal was, and the service person told me that it needed a head gasket. At 1300 miles! I said. And over $500 dollars. So I said, I'll think about this, and took a 35 mile detour home. Everything sounded okay, so I stopped a the motorcycle shop near mny house, and talked to the mechanic in person there. He said the dealership was off base. It might need a torque, but nothing much else. So I'll keep checking for the little leaks, see if anything major develops. Thanks for the info here.
