Loss of power update

I decided to take the bike back to the shop in Richmond that serviced the bike for the prior owner and did the mods to it. I'm also hoping they still have the custom map for it.
The motor was really hot when I got there and he said he'll go into the motor from the top and recheck everything all the way down. I mentioned the sumping problem you guys mentioned and he said it did look like an oiling problem. I'm just hopeing I didn't hurt it further by riding it there.

It's a tic over 17k and the adjusters looked to me somewhat worn and a little pitted. The mechanic later said they were shot.

If you still need a Dyno tune take it to Brooke McCabe at Collier's in Roanoake Rapids. Pick a good weather day and make the ride. If you want shoot me a PM a day or so ahead and I will ride down there with you. It's a nice ride on the back roads and takes about an hour and a half to get there. You should call Brook and set up an early am appointment first. He will give you some good advice over the phone too. He is very reasonable price wise about $100 less than the local guys in this area and loves his job.

To check for sumping the bike should be ridden and engine brought close to or to operating temperature. Carefully remove the drain plug and 4-6 ounces should come out. I have seen a quart come out on one where the wrong oring was used at the scavenge port. Those that have cracked cases have usually done it on the reinstall of the drain plug.
AFAIK, there is not torque spec for this plug in the manual because the factory doesn't think it should be removed. Apply some thread sealant, Loctite makes a good one, and just snug the plug up. Check for leaks later and if seeping, tighten a bit more but in very small increments.
