    What type of cylinder prep was done for the big bore kit ? An over bore for sure and assuming the rings and piston was the proper size. ? Yep the ring line up is important in the sealing .Also make sure the valve seals did not pop up on the valve or that the crankcase is venting properly. It should not be burning any oil if all is right and definitely not oiling the plug ! Hope you get it figured out.

    A mode or rather Let the beast loose..

    I installed a Booster plug a few weeks ago and got to say it really softens up the on off throttle really nice,so much that I was in A mode once and didn't even notice . It smoothed the adbrupness that good. I also noticed it took out the flat spot at high rpm.It now pulls really strong all the way to red line. It also did not hurt my fuel MPG one bit. Yeah it throws off your ambient air temp reading but I can overlook that for the improved fueling.It works so well  A mode no problem now.on the bumpy roads as much.

    missing letter

    I assume if set up like the Tracer the Gauge will not come off full till reaching the 1/2 tank stay their till 1/4 tank then show remaining when reaching low levels. Sounds odd but OK once you get used to it.    Mike

    Hello from the Canadian Prairies

    Welcome  and enjoy. Like you I.ve had many Bikes dirt and road and all Hondas.Also came so close to having a XR1200 roadster .I thought finally a Harley that i could like  with the performance of a Buell. Actually went to a dealer with a 1,000 bucks in my pocket for a down payment . Well none in stock to look at and wouldnt take a deposit so no deal . Ended up with a left over 07 Honda ST1300 in 09 at a steal until I got tired of the heavy weight and seen the GT900. .No regrets at all. Brings the thrill back into riding .Love it .
