Turns out that running honda 5w-30 MA4 oil was the answer. I would never have believed that there was a difference in running motorcycle oil versus car oil, but I am now a firm believer. It was going to cost me a hundred bucks just to have the pressure test done. Thanks for the input. I look forward to discussing things on the forum. You gotta pay to play and I like to play. I have a 2004 rinny 650, just installed an HMF pipe and Dynojet stage 1 kit with the 144 jet. I live in Memphis and enjoy ridding the wolf river bottoms. I have riddin Enid once and am looking forward to going back when the water level drops. jk
