Your correct about the Kawa shops and older bikes. Asked one guy several questions and when he couldn't give answers I knew, it was time to leave. (he was in his 20's) Probably never worked on anything but crotch rockets. OK- so yes I have mechanical ability just not enough time in the day AND seems the Voyager is not a priority on any ones list but mine. Friends and family are more into our boating scene, where a lot of my time is spent. I do read AVA consistently. Learned so much. Thanks for the chat.
