I agree with all your observations and thoughts... lots of wisdom there.
Yes, the only thing I am worried about is lurking problems such as the previous owner's oil change habits and that the bike was not run for a year.
The bike has already been to the shop has passed compression tests, runs great, except for this one observation.
I have already changed the oil once and added a very small amount of SeaFoam, ran it 400 miles and then changed the oil and filter. I am now >600 miles into this last oil change. I'm going to go through one more flush using and additive before changing the oil and putting it away for the winter.
Thanks for all the suggestions/insight.
