(1) If you're changing oil on your motorcycle and fail to replace the drain plug, the new synthetic oil is guaranteed to run out on your boot and make a hard-to-clean-up mess.
(2) Always check the operation of your automatic trans kickdown linkage, and verify there is no binding, with the engine off, before taking it on a test drive.
(3) If your gas pedal sticks on the floor due to a bound kickdown linkage, and you're going down a 2-lane road quickly approaching slower traffic, turn the key off. Do not turn it back to where it locks the steering wheel. Also, failure to immediately bump transmission into neutral may result in blown-out mufflers.
