I'm a big believer in high RPMs. I do it routinely, but was pretty surprised when I got my bike back from the valve check last week, and was told it had a "lot" of carbon build up. Actually I was shocked. I can't ride it at any higher RPMs. Talked to the tech, he told me it was due to today's fuels. I always run premium, but still not good enough. I need to find that Yamaha fuel treatment product and start running that in every few tanks I guess.
Change the resonce box, for a open muffler. This Help to evacuate more quickly the exhaust gases, avoiding that this gases keep in combustion chamber for a bad re-burn

I'm running stock exhaust. Making any change to the resonce box is way beyond my non-existent knowledge of tuning.

I was walking down the street today when I was accosted by a dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked me for a couple of quid for dinner.
I took sympathy on him as he was obviously an ex biker and I took out my wallet and said, "If I give you this money, will you buy alcohol instead of dinner?"
“I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied.
So, I said, for a laugh, “will you spend this on bike parts instead of food?"
The old boy said, "are you nuts? I haven't had a bike in 20 year!"
So….., I said:, "I'm not going to give you money and instead, I'm going to take you home for a shower and a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."
The homeless man was astounded and said "won't your wife be furious with you for doing that?
I replied….."that's okay. It's important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking and biking”

I saw this feller trashing a Suzuki Hyabusa last night. first time out on it and broke the oil pan. I just thought he got a cheap gold wind and was just playing. I read he picked the gold wing up from a bank after a deer hit in Montana. I guess he has more money than I will ever have.
