So when I bought this bike there was some issues and I didn't complain because I got the bike for a good price. Most of the issues were cosmetic. The exhaust was a hack job home made single side that leaked like crazy. The leak of course was causing me to loose power. Thanks to some great members on here I have gotten most stuff fixed. I replaced the exhaust with a factory header courtesy of Blazing-Saddle, and some Yoshi slip ons that I picked up off of craigslist. So back to the issue at hand.... once the exhaust was replaced no more power loss bike runs awesome. Problem now is once you get into it real good it starts to slip then catches and takes off. My buddy and I thought it may be the front sprocket. We pulled it all apart and discovered the sprocket in place was an offset sprocket. Replaced it with a factory sprocket and thought great problem should be fixed. Took it for a test spin...same issue. It does not do it every time and it does it in all gears. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? We tightened the chain took it for another spin still no luck. Looking for feed back or any info you guys and gals could give.
Sorry it was a book, but I needed to lay the ground work to explain why I didn't notice this when I first got the bike. BTW its a 2006 with 23k miles.
