Prolonged stand up wheelies....wish I could. Power lifts a foot or so in second as far as I get.

No oil in the air box though. I think the leak is/was at one of the timing case screws. Cleaned it all off, went for a ride, and oil dribbling from the screw vicinity. Cleaned it again, and the crevice at the bottom of the screw hole was getting damp. So I cleaned it all out squirting alcohol into the screw hole. (Note one does not light up while doing this!). Resealed the screw with hi-temp silicone. Test ride to follow. I just may have gotten off easily here. I also checked the ignition lead wire exits, so far they are dry.

Thanks for the ideas.
