Sometimes simple things can become headaches.
Thought I would do a quick 15-20 minute flush of the clutch reservoir since mine was very dark after 2700 miles.
Simple right? Not for me. Took the left fairing off and began bleeding the fluid out. Once most of the reservoir was empty I went to loosen the phillips screws in the cap. Stripped the left one!! Used a snap on screwdriver and was being as careful as I could, but it was so damn tight. Probably a strong guy in Japan during asssembly with torque fever.
Anyway, now the screw is stripped my reservoir is empty and its 85 degrees and sunny. Had to drill the countersunk head off the screw first with a 1/4" drill. Then a 5/64" drill bit through the center of what was left of this shitty liitle screw,so i could use an easy out. Finally, got it after 1/2 hour more of screwing around.
One good thing that resulted is I placed three small pieces of black tape on the wind screen, as suggested on this site, and my screen BUZZ is GONE. "Peaceful speed" as Dirty Pete calls it.
