Check cam chain tensioner. If you don't have a verslavy yet, get one.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

In addition to the chain tensioner, I'd consider porting and polishing the exhaust side of the head. Install a high compression piston (kit) and maybe a stage 3 cam.

IT's done 12,000 miles.
How many of those miles were you riding it?
What happened to the exhaust bolts?

I only had the bike a week tried to tighten a loose exhaust and broke both studs. I am looking to do all the tweaks I can while the motor is out, emailed verslagen for his goodies, if a new cam and piston will give a decent boost I will do that too. not sure yet where to get them I live in Yorkshire, uk

Lancer ships international for the cam and piston. He also carries a cam chain you might want to replace yours with while you have it apart...
