Anybody else get one with a seat FULL of water, talking well over a gallon. I drilled a bunch of holes in the pan and it seems to be dry now.

I thought it was a gel seat at first :laughing:

Having just picked up a new Bad Boy Elite, I noticed the overflow reservoirs are also empty. I can see the oil in the lines yet none is in the overflow. I'm wanting to add some just as others have done and bring it up to the cold fill line, we're talking about a few ounces on each side I would guess.

This brings me to my question: how important is it to run the 20W-50? Can I get away with running 15W-50 without any adverse effects, if there were any what would they be? Reason I ask is because I use Mobil 1 15W-50 Full Synthetic, most will know as the old Red Cap racing blend, in all of my Motorsport products (atvs, dirt bikes, street bikes). I always have this blend on hand and would make streamlining my oils much easier if I can go ahead and use the 15W-50 blend versus the other 20W-50.

Thoughts?
