Thanks Dave,
I have a very basic mechanical competency, having previously done a bit of DIY on an Aprilia RS125. I have downloaded the Yamaha Service Manual, and been leafing through it now and then. The only downside for me is that I do not have a garage to work in (i live in an apartment), so while I will do what I can, I can't do much.
I understand that bit about the satisfaction of doing things myself, and get the vibe from my local 'shop that he's too eager to sell me an overhaul for no good reason. Which is why I'm trying to find out for sure what's wrong with the bike myself.
Like you and others suggest, there' nothing wrong, so, ok, I'll go take a chill pill or five, and just continue to monitor.
Oh. Also, does it matter if the bike did not seem to have any oil level issues for about 1500 mi since the last oil change before suddenly developing this issue?
