Ron,
DON'T RUN IT! Truck it to Harper's and tell them about it. It may have
seized a piston or two.

| The bike starts and runs good when cold. Took it out with my wife on back (I'm 215 pounds, she's 115) last evening in Kansas City, about 98 degrees, and after it warmed up it started running terribly: going up a gentle hill, it was pinging like crazy (on premium unleaded), and couldn't get above about 45 mph. I couldn't keep the idle going at stop signs without revving it, and the usual valve clatter was magnified by about 10X.
