It was in the 70's today. It was so nice I took the bike out for a ride.

Hey Vince, I wanted to ask, how often do you recommend a fluid change on your transmissions?
What is your take on the flush Vs. drain?

If you are going to service them do it religiously. Guy's who race a lot do it every other oil change. I think with normal driving every 10-15,000 miles. As far as doing a complete flush the same rules apply. Just make sure that if you have a t-tech style flush done that after they are done, that they drop the pan and change the filter. Then refill it as normal.

It's really cold and I hate you for being able to go for a bike ride today.

The last week has been abnormally warm here, mid 40's to low 60's. Normally it's 15 or so this time of year.
