	I purchased this vehicle brand new on june 28th, 2006. on july 7th, i noticed a substantial amount of oil on my right boot. mileage at that time was 269 miles. i was still in the manufacturers recommended break-in period, so i had not taken the vehicle above 5000 rpm's at all. i took the vehicle to the dealership on july 11th, 2006. the mechanic diagnosed the problem as a head gasket leak/blown head gasket. today is august 3, 2006 and the bike is still in the shop. *jb
