Various questions about my 2008 C14 NON ABS w/ 12k miles, feel free to take a stab at any of them. Thanks in advance. Mainly should I remove my PC5 before possible warranty work?
1.)
DEALERS? - Any recommendations for dealers? Anyone to stay away from? Seattle , WA area.
2.)
WARPED ROTORS? -I have noticed a pulsating feel in my front NON ABS breaks for about a year now. Not bad but it's there. Have always wondered if warranty would cover this.
3.)
TPMS -Next my TPMS sensor is LOW BATTERY on the front now that it is getting cold.
4.)
COLD START UP SMOKE NEAR ENGINE - Last I recently noticed some smoke coming up from the engine on start up. I recently changed the oil so I figured it was oil on the headers or leaking oil filter. I haven't pin pointed where it is coming from sense it only lasts about 30secs on cold start ups. What I have realized is it seems to happen more often when I use the side stand at work compared to leaving the garage in the AM with the center stand used all night. I have read of valve cover gasket leaks on the left hand side which would explain the more common smoke when heading home. But I have noticed smoke a few times in the morning after being on the center stand just far less common.
UPDATE - I just went out in the garage and had to lay down on my back and look up through the lower fairing but could see there is a oil leak up there. I see oil on the tops of the headers where they bolt up to the engine. Not sure exactly where the leak is but there is oil on the engine and header. Wow, only 12k miles, no abusive revving or racing.
