Got to Washington this week. Installed a new battery in my K5 bike I keep up here. Used Sta-Bil prior to leaving in October and it started up in two kicks! Drove it 20 miles yesterday and nearly 15 today. Didn't sound right so checked the oil... Only a pint in it... Oops. Changed it while it was good and hot. On the magnetic drain plug it had some shavings and a chunk of metal! It appears to be a head of a small slotted screw driver... Would u/l photos but my internet is very spotty as of now.
Anyway it seems fine now but no idea where the metal came from. Will drive it more and see what happens.
