Sorry Micky, I couldn't help myself I am in a giddy mood and I was laughing so hard at myself I could hardly type, but I actually did wonder if others have seen this..

sagging normal, turning bronze could be big trouble:rofl:

Yeah, my left nut has turned bronze. Actually, it's the "reed valve cover," or something like that, which is situated atop the valve cover on the exhaust side. And I though only two-strokes had reed valves...

Mine are. I think they're clear coated from the factory and the coating is finally wearing off. Doesn't seem to really affect them and they don't rust.

Yep = riding 365 days a year , most days in shorts on a naked air cooled bike is just more than some people can understand .
besides what the heck does " winterizing mean " a wind breaker ?

In all seriousness, I have not noticed any nut discoloration so far. However, I have noticed that they get very very hot after a long day of riding.

I have the beginnings of this problem. My doctor just says to stop whining and ride the durn bike.
