IDK if it was my imagination or an actual issue developing, but it seemed like the engine lost a bit of power, is having a harder time getting to higher RPM? I may have lost some top speed, can't say 100% for sure, but it seemed like it may have.
This was after going over everything and tightening things up that had gotten loose. It doesn't seem like it's running much different, just more like it did when I first put it together. I did look at the plug, a little black around the outside, but a healthy chocolate brown.
I will say at times it can be really hard to tell about slight hills around here. What seems flat, can be a slight upgrade or downgrade. There are even several of those places where the horizon gives the optical illusion of going uphill both ways, in some places around here.
Like I said, hard to tell if it's my imagination or an actual issue with the engine. I only went on fairly short rides, maybe 15-20 min, but it was like 85 or higher outside both times.
