Ugh! This sounds like what is happening to mine. It's my front left cylinder that is having issues. Seems fine for a bit, then it looses power and sounds and feels flat.

Re: I lost my best friend

I am in shock. He wasn't that old. Spent many a weekend down there riding bikes and touring the twisties with him. He let me rides his Gammas and he took my RZ500 for a blast and actually liked it :) His guidance will be missed. :sad:
