Thanks to all.

I'm going to move to an annual oil change interval and keep an eye out for signs of condensation. I know in a gasoline engine with dino-oil the sign is a white color or froth in the oil. Is this the same symptom I should be looking for in the tiger tank?

Indeed, most of my trips are short and are around town errands but almost always the temp gauge reaches my normal operating temp (slightly above 80 degrees) before I shut it down.

It may well be that the engine reaches operating temp but the tranny does not. Not having a trans fluid temp gauge, I'm not sure how long it takes to reach operating temp. Is there a symptom I should look for there? I'm thinking that I may go ahead and do a trans fluid and filter change every year too, just to help mitigate any issues that my driving patterns create.

BTW, gsxr, I definitely get her out on the highway periodically for some "autobahn-style" cruising. Helps to remind me what this beauty is made for...EATING MILES.
