Hi
i did a search and didn't find anything covering this. I ride to work every day, and started noticing that after i let it run for a few minutes to warm up (my temp gauge kicks on at 104) and up until engine temp is 160/180 degrees, the bike is very responsive to the throttle. After warming up past 180/190 its not sluggish, but it definitely doesn't respond as quick, there's (what feels like) a noticeable drop in power. I was wonder if this could mean i just need to gap some cooler weather plugs, or its due to something that could potentially be more serious. I just broke the 50XXX mile mark on the bike, and do all the basic maintenance, but it looked like it was ridden hard when i bought it last march. Thanks and happy new year!
