The Hybrid is back in business

It all started with my bike running poorly on top end. It had been two years since a top end so I tore into it. bought a top end kit. had the cylinder replated. in the process I replaced the shifter shaft and a couple of seals etc. put it back together and it still ran like crap. did a leakdown test and found that I had a leaky crank seal. so back apart she came. Had my Mech split the cases and rebuild the crank with a new connecting rod. replaced crank bearings and seals checked lower end for wear. put it back together and it acted like it was not getting any air...

Realized that when I had the pipe hot tanked it broke a bunch of carbon loos and it ended up in my spark arrestor clogging it up.

Put my other silencer on the bike and it runs better than ever.

This site has always been an invaluable resource to me for keeping my bike running great and this time was no different.
