[QUOTE="Sams65, post: 188806, member: 12820"] This is good info thanks! I futzed around with the exhaust the other day and after spraying, poking and prodding, aside from all the chunks of carbon and unburnt gasoline/goo that emerged there's a loose piece of something rattling around. From what I can see, it looks to be one of the donut shaped inserts (diagram attached) It's impossible to get out but was able to sort of wedge it to the side. [ATTACH]67563[/ATTACH] Not sure if this would have been enough to case issues or block air flow, but will try it out as soon as I get things back together. Your offer is very much appreciated and I might take you up on that - at this point willing to accumulate as many spares as possible just to get to the root of this... The bearings were replaced and the crankshaft was balanced & checked by a shop, when I had cases apart. I had read something similar elsewhere on the forum which is why I decided to ride the bike in its current condition to see if things improved. Must have rode around for 10 mins without improvement. The only difference was all the gasoline just started to carbon up, with the plug/heads ending up sooty as opposed to wet. [/QUOTE]
