All righty, I can't be long, I have class tomorrow. So today I was driving hard, over 65 mph, closer to 80 ish. My bike was running really good Then I slow'ed down and took a clover leaf from 94 WB, to 494 SB. (local guys will know) Then for now explain-able reason, (ok may be one, obviously) The left side stopped working, then it would periodically kick in, then it would be ineffective. Sounds included more popping noises, and stuff like that. When the occasion suite it, it would rev up to almost full power, then it would go back to periodic popping. Speed went from 80 mph, to max of 55, uphill 45 ish. So on the way home, I unplugged the left plug, so I wouldn't hear the attempt to throttle up, and stuff like that.
Something I have been suspecting, cause I spent a lot of time fairly recently securing all the oil leaks. and its still going though oil. SO I am burning alot of oil. perhaps 3/4 of quart of oil per fuel fill up. I know there is a lot of carbon on the hole in the exhaust. Then when It stopped 2 blocks from my house. I did notice alot of oil/fuel leaking form from the exhaust port. My first clue was that the oil was splashing on the motor guard, and my shoes were more slippery, then before I stretched out. So I walked the bike home.
So first thing I will test out is new plugs. Because I was driving up to 80mph, I dont suspect a carb issue. I suspect a ring issue. While the left plug was on, I was thinking a valve issue. Am I missing anything? btw the left muffler is shot.
