Turns out the Cam tensioner was broke.

I have a hole burnt through one of the valves. The pistion rings are fried, and the cylyinder has burn marks.

I think the mistake I made was when I bought it.

The dealer said it should be fine for 100 miles a freeway driving a day.

I should have adjusted the valves when I was supposed to.

Live and learn.

It was a nice bike, but not worth the $1000-$1500 to fix it.

Peace out brothers!  Smiley

I am sure I need a bigger bike for my travels to work.

And the kicker.... this happend after my extended 4 year warrenty  Embarrassed

I did get 50,000 miles out of it without any major adjustments. I guess I should be grateful.
