Hi guys, my bike has been standing for a couple of weeks. We have had stormy weather here. On Thursday I took it out to have a front tyre fitted. And then parked it off at work again. Today I really wanted to ride it home especially since it now has a new front tyre. I rode about 1 km to the mall to pick up some things. When I stopped I had smoke coming up from the engine. Seems the time standing allowed some oil to drop onto the exhaust. Not to worried I did my shopping and then drove about another 1km to the highway for a 30 km drive to my turn off. About 6 km into the drive the engine started loosing power. Thinking I again have water in the system, a problem I had a couple of weeks ago, I turned off the highway and headed back to the office on a back road. Wanting to feel the problem I pulled the clutch in and reved the motor to about 7000rpm. Suddenly the power seemed back. But, then the engine sounded as if the exhaust had come off the manifold. I haven't had time to take the plastics off and have a look yet. But maybe somebody here can identify with this. I must say, although now very noisy. The bike suddenly feels as if it has loads more power than before. I still think I had water in the system, but can't help but think that maybe something was blocking my outlet and this has now released itself. Any thoughts
