Thanks Again

Thats a loaded queston that no one can really answer. You should be ok is the best I can say. But getting the oil tested say at 3k then at 6k is a very good idea. For $30 a test you will know for sure exactly how long you can go. Also it will red flag any problems, it cought coolant burning off in Brian C's oil.
I recomend getting the oil tested on any engine if you want to go longer then 5k miles.
Also gsxr I think was saying that the bottom cover can be taken off the IP while it is on the engine. I think it can, it is the only thing leaking on my engine.
PM gsxr he really knows his stuff, or Sixto but I havn't seen Sixto around lately.
Their is a big bolt in the center of the fan that has to come out. Slide the plastic guard back and stick an 8mm allen wrench in the head of the bolt. Kind of a pain but I after you do it a few times it is simple.
