Hey all,
This is my first post but long time lurker. Really good stuff! Ok, here is my bike and situation.
2007 gen 1
30k mileage
Only mods; alien head full exhaust, pair valve removed, back sprocket +3 and ecu flash by Schnitz racing.
back story. Bought the bike used at 14k road it til 25k loving it, no issues. 2nd gear started going out as I found many have. Had entire lower end rebuilt. when I got the rebuild done is when I put the mods in. Got it out and loved it. Now at 30k having issues.
issue 1 - for two weeks straight I had to add about 3/4 quart b oil (I use full synthetic - Mosul). One day I woke up went for ride, checked oil and didn’t lose a drop. Two weeks later..... today, still perfect oil level no drop. During Time when I had to add oil no white or blue smoke and no oil leaks what so ever. Took to my mechanic and he thinks I’m nuts.
Issue 2 - until the oil issue started I couldn’t keep front tire on the ground. Massive power, torque and speed. Today. Unless I’m going to do power wheelie at 8 or 9k I can’t get it off the ground. Low rpm power is more of a ramp up to speed rather than straight power at twist of throttle like it used to be.
issue 3 - I don’t ride my bike anywhere near top speed of bike. 140-165mph is my comfort zone. I do this in 5th at a comfortable 8-9k. Well, at least I did. Now about 140mph is top speed. When I shift to 6th it just Boggs down a bit.
I do not rag the bike. I never even get close to red line. I don’t race. I use good oil and follow maint schedule. However, have never changed spark plugs or air filter. I have air filter On order. My BB mechanic wants 90 for compression test. Fair enough I think. But I wanted to ask here first to see if this sounds common or something I can look into before spending. I am very mechanically apt, I just do not have a lot of tools right now. Been told can’t rebuild lower half without rebuilding top half? Tru false? If a head gasket as I have been told anddismissed is that something I can undertake with manual and you all?
thanks for helping so many of us! Ask away, sorry for length but seen too many told more details are better.
peace,
Jai
