[QUOTE="skiri251, post: 176775, member: 511"] Thanks for the concern and sorry I didn't keep you up to date. Initially it had one cylinder overheating, turned out to be my fault (float level). Then carbs leaked really bad from float bowl gasket. I sanded bowl mating surface flat but it didn't help. Currently I have two gaskets in there and that finally stopped the leak. I was using premix fuel for the break-in. Before switching to oil injection only, I checked oil injection system. I found right side oil hose was off. Good thing I did otherwise I would have seized engine. My current issue is the gas mileage. It's only 35MPG even though I didn't rev the engine much (~5K RPM). And in that rev range the ride is fairly pathetic. The plugs look dark so mixture is rich (which is better than lean especially it is still in semi-break-in period according to Clymer manual). Jets are all stock but I guess needles and needles jets are worn (the bike had 10K miles on it and obviously abused by the horrible state of cranks/crank case and seized/holed pistons). So I am waiting for NOS needles and jets. [/QUOTE]
