Im thinking of having the bikes motor rebuilt over the winter. The bike has 36000 fast pace miles. I notice a little bit of smoke somtimes , when i get on it hard. Losing power over time and motor sound a little loose. Alot more vibration. Bike is very well maintained.
If anyone has any suggestions , I will listen , If anyone knows any tricks or secrets to get more power . I appretiate and thank everyone that can help
Thank everyone and have a good night
There is a few out there with almost 100 k miles without a rebuild. I dont think you can kill em.

Ride more. Worry less.
If the smoke is black then it's prolly running a bit rich.
Blue is oil.
White is exhaust moisture burning off or antifreeze.
Loose is fast, brah!

I no , Ive have seen 50k+ miles on them . I have a little anxiety problem. see I have done alot of wheelies , some over 1 mile long . Not when riding in a group. Thats when i started to seeing smoke.

Nice disclaimer. I see you've read the group ride rules here.
Rules are rules , only when im alone on the road and with one friend do i sometimes screw off .
LOL
ingsiyity = anxiety?
wow people are giving me alot of shit for spelling anxietywrong.
I new I was way off, but didnt think it would be this exciting. Like I said cant spell for shit . as you couldnt tell.
People on here will give you shit just about any chance they get. Its just how it is.

If you have a power commander try reloading the map. It may just be off. Also at your mileage I would change the plugs. I did mine at 17k and it made a big difference. Finally you should probably have the valve clearance checked.
If you need a good shop try Speed Demon Cycles in Bloomfield Ct. Great work at a good price. Call Rob 860-242-6905
GSXR750 GS650 Street Tracker
Call Pat at New England Performance if you want it rebuilt
Marcus at Hooligans Engine. #603-943-5023 Markusrk48@hotmail.com He will rebuild it fast and is 1/2 the price of anyone i have seen.
You have to specify what you want
Some smoke is probably valve seals and guides
Do a compression check 1st if OK
Fogetaboutit
rebuild is to open a term
DOn't let them yank your chain
long wheelies hurt some motors because of oil starvation from pumps on some bikes
otherwise it ain't no thing
