Guys,
I'm hoping it isn't a major one but need some help with diagnosis.
Seems to be an overall power loss, it isn't having trouble getting out of its own way or anything but it isn't the same as it used to be. I can't say exactly when I noticed it, but it has definitely lost a step and the noises are different.
The concerning part is the pffft, pfftt noises that are coming from the engine during engine braking and between shifts when I pull in the clutch. Not certain, but it almost sounds like that noise is coming from the intake and I'm hearing it through the air filter. I've read a lot of posts that say this is a noisy engine, but I think I'm hearing more clatter than I used to as well. Self adjusting valves, right? Think I burned one?
It doesn't feel like it is missing or stumbling except for engine braking, just not as powerful as it used to be.
The only thing I've done lately was to replace the scotchlock on the tps wire and change to the Mobil1 high mileage formula that I know some of you are using. I haven't done anything else, levels are fine and there are no obvious signs other than those I've described.
The bike has a little over 20k on it.
I'm willing to send a virtual 6 pack to anybody that can get me going on a potential diagnosis. Thanks in advance.
