    Good morning people. I have had my 2014 Roadster with 12800 miles on it parked up for 2 months and today noticed a very small oil patch on the floor which appears to be from the breather pipe under the engine. The pipe has an oil mist around it so i assume this may be just normal? I hav'nt...

    Once per hour or so, my engine seems to lose its power by half, starts making extra noises and rattles, and pops and backfires until I turn it off

    If I restart it goes away most of the time. Maybe I have to turn off for a minute or so. I just changed out the ignition due to the jiggle/off known issue. I also recently had it serviced at the dealership and now it drives crooked ever since I got new tires put on. This bike is posing more...

    Engine doen't like over 95 degree ambient Temp.

    Engine runs great at 90 degree and below ambient temp., when the weather gets hotter the engine doesn't like to run it surges.
