SERIOUS CORROSION ON SOME VALVE COVERS:
Some of the Cannondale valve covers are made of magnesium and are showing signs of serious corrosion behind the waterpump impeller. If you have a cream colored valve cover make sure you double check yours before the corrosion leaks coolent into the head. Check out the picture provided by Ray Asten on his 2002 Speed.

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR CRANKCASE AND TRANNY BOLTS:
Check out Dave Vannett's engine pic from a failed bolt in his tranny. Cannondale came out with a crankcase stud upgrade kit but others have mentioned that they are having some problems with their clutch bolts backing out as well. Make sure you double check you bike for the stud update and the clutch bolts that they are locktited in solid. I'm no expert on the procedure but if you have questions try our Tech Talk area for answers.
