Me too!
 
I had to work on the scoot yesterday... havent ridden for about 3 weeks on the sporty cuz of an oil leak that was pissin me off.
So yesterday, i pulled the backing plate off the air cleaner, and inspected the breather tubes for the crankcase... and guess what? It was full of shit. I had to take a solvent to the female threads on the crankcase... some ass before me used a soft gasket sealer on the male threads of the breather bolts... and when I pulled the bolts out... it left shit on the female threads that would have pushed back into the crankcase... now what the hell was he thinking?

Any way I used a pick to get the garbage out and a q-tip soaked in solvent to get the shit out, I soaked the bolts in kero... I took the carb off and soaked that too... I replaced the OEM air filter with a K&N filter... I changed the oil and filter... and put her back togather... rode her hard and fast down I-95 to get the back pressure built up... and see if I got anymore puking... got her home pulled off the cover,,,, and by Jesus she was dry as a newly diapered baby... sweet like one too. So I took a 6 hour vitory ride... she's still dry...and I don't know if I was imagining it, but I swear I had a power boost in the responce of the engine.... OH happy days are here again!

Extra oil in the combustion chamber can cause power loss and even detonation.

While its been in the 50's here for the last two days, its just a tease. Gonna be cold for the rest of the week. :(
