I have pushed it. I'll have to do that. I know there must be some crap that was built up because when I first got it running, it did smoke a little and the exhaust just reeked. It even irritated my throat. After some use it cleared up and doesn't do it anymore, so I figured the crap in the cylinders got burnt off :)

Have you really pushed the bike yet?

Take her out and ride good and hard (1/4+ throttle/shifting 6-7k rpm) for about 15 minutes, then get on the freeway and let her rip for another 15.

Then roll back home and drop the oil immediately. Dont burn yourself ;)

You'll be amazed at the crud that can come out of these things after sitting.
