Clutch feels exactly the same. I'll ride without earplugs tomorrow and see if I hear anything different.

Been using synthetic since I got the bike at 700 miles, so I don't think that's the issue.

Starting problem, advice before I plunge in?

The other day after work I got on the bike, thumbed the starter and nothing happened. Lights didn't dim so it seemed like the battery was not the issue. I push started it in second and it started...

Fixed!

Sorry for the delay in updating the repair.

The shop had the bike over the holidays because the part was coming in by UPS and ended up getting caught up in all those delays.

I believe the part...

Presumably the mechanic is replacing the right thing but calling it the wrong name. I hope. I'll find out the part number when I get the bike back.

A compression check would reveal a leaky head gasket, right?

It's an '06 with about 4,500 miles on it. I bought it about 9 months ago with 700 miles on it. So even though it's low mileage, it's been around a while.

thanks for the advice and tips. was able to extract most of the pieces with the hanger, and gave up on the nut; probably would have had to turn the bike upside down to shake it out.
