Re: Hello from a new rider in Berkeley, CA

Give the bike a good washing to get ALL the oil off the fins so you can see where it is coming from.
If it didn't seize on your first ride... and started after you filled it with oil, shavings in the crank may be the worst of your troubles. Good luck with that!! ALWAYS always check your oil level before starting - might not be necessary every time but it's a good habit to get into. Lube the cables, check the tire pressure. Rub your Happy Budda statue on the belly for good luck and enjoy your new ride. :rawk:
