Check your valve timing again, that's the main thing you disturbed, doe's not have to be off much for the valve to just kiss the piston, then at 3000 the lead an lag of the valves make it go away. Just a thought.
Any one have a VFR, going to do an oil & filter change, which panel do I remove L or R , just did one on the Bird and pulled the R/side, worked out ok but would have been better pulling L/side. Thanks Rob
Just found a cheep source for batteries, I have ordered two one for the Bird and one for the VFR, AGM batteries, is yet have nothing to report on them. www.batterysharks.com emailed them with models and they got right back to me.
