Normal
When I popped my '83 engine in, I thought it was running great! (And it did run much better than my '81 engine). But after I put 1500 miles on it on the highway at 75+ miles per hour continuously (road trip to Ohio) the engine really responded and I could hear the difference as the gum and engine parts cleaned up and started working like they were supposed to.If I ride for more than 100 miles below 60 MPH, it seems like I can actually feel the engine start to become more sluggish. Get her on the highway, run her at 70 MPH in fourth gear (assuming 6000RPM) for at least 10 miles (maximum load at high RPM and wind resistance) and let her work herself free.
