Just got back from a nice ride on the freeway and was able to hit 11K rpm several times
Parked in the garage and will see how it behaves tomorrow before I go to the dealer!

Great I look forward to your update. Also one quick note. When you start your bike. Dont rev it right away. Just start it and let it idle till the temp is up to the 150/160 range. Reving the motor on a cold start does help matters. There all kind of parts in that motor that are thermodynamicly heating at different rates. You really want allow all those parts to become up to temp properly.

So no smoke today... No at start-up, not at light revving... I did let the bike warm up 'til 128 ºF before revving, so it seems to be key to this problem.

I'll keep an eye on it tho and will post updates as I go.

Thanks for all the feedback and tips guys!
