Good news and bad news...
I was able to go for a nice ride tonight. My oil leak is solved!! That's the good news...now the bad...It seems that in taking the air cleaner assembly off I have created an air leak....I had bike dyno'd and the carb jetted for the A/C and new pipes I put on in July. It was running great. no issues. Now on my ride tonight in 4th and 5th gear is where I noticed this most.....If I was cruising and only was giving it around an 1/8th of the throttle or less the bike would slow down and buck. when this happened once I pulled the choke out a bit and it helped. Good thing the ride I took tonight was to a bike night at my dealer so I picked up a new a/c to carb gasket...I am guessing this is where my problem is.
Why is it when I do one thing it always leads to another issues???....lol
