Wow, this is concerning. I will try to see if the prevous owner made any changes to deal with this while I am working on it.
I got A LOT of work to do LOL. 1) Flush and replace coolant 2) Replace oil 3) Check hydraulic fluid for clutch, flush and replace if needed....
Makes sense, thanks for clarifying. I was always iffy about opening them because I wasnt sure how the contamination worked once opened, this...
I actually bought a few extra from the dealer the other day just incase (i needed some to replace some missing ones)

With all the discussion of the other stuff I realize we havent discussed the noise i hear in neutral unless I missed it. The noise only happens...
If changing the oil doesnt help I am going to try some different shifting techniques to see if that might help. I am so used to riding the pretty...
