Hi Doug,
The motor wasn't warmed up so maybe that didn't help. Bobby worked on the
bike last July but didn't do the trans at least not then. I spoke to him and
  gave him the PO's name and he told me what was done to the bike at that
time. I  was told by the PO that the upgrades were done by the PO that was a
good friend  of his, so who knows. Maybe the clutch needs adjustment.

If it has only got that many miles you had better not run synthetic til it
is broke in. Some amount of some is quite normal, especially if it is not
warm  up. your trans could of been done by  Bobby.

Van,
Thanks for all your effort, that  was very nice of you. I'll probably
change
the oil as you suggested with a  good full synthetic oil and see if that
helps. I hope you have a nice July  4th weekend.

Joe, I checked with  Marty(Superxparts. Joe, I checked with
Marty(Superxparts. <WBR>com)  to see if Jamie might h& #438 but not #436.
You could check with
John  Jones to see if he has any record of doing it. The oil in the
crankcase is  where the trany gets its lube. A good full synthetic oil is
advised.
Good  Luck. Van
