Somehow my primary adjuster pushed out, threads and all, once. I was about 6 blocks from home, so no huge deal, but still. I needed a new primary cover. Warranty - natch. |

Ah ok! Can the bolt be tightened? Personally I wouldn't touch it, let the dealer check it out in case of something more serious. Unreliable sack of crap 2010 models, everyone I know with one (one person) has had an issue! |

Green oil? Has the factory changed oils recently? |
