Check that tube in the bottom of the air box for oil - and make sure the cap is on it. There is a "wrench" for the spark plug in the toolkit but you should be able to get one at a parts store if you don't have it. My filter looked okay too, but after Easy's post, I am wnodering about it. I don't know about CA smog, but Easy said ours are different. I am pretty sure my Stratoliner also has extra CA emissions crap on it too. Refers to it in the manual. I'm in favor of clean air, but there is usually a damn good reason why this stuff is not put on all bikes. I've never read "extra emissions equipment installed on car: Boosts gas mileage, increases horsepower and... the chicks really go for it!"
