Good call to yamaman and jp5015. My left side points terminal insulation was melted away just a little and this was making contact to the wires. I put shrink wrap around the exposed wire and positioned the terminal so it had no contact with anything. Thanks guys! Runs like a raped ape now!

I'll check it out after work and update. Thanks.

Something like this.

Get a waxed based dry lube like white lightening. You can find it at any bicycle store or bicycle section of WalMart. I had the same problem with my Sportster. I tried Inox and other lubes to no avail. Then I tried White Lightening and bingo. Smooth as silk! I don't recommend motor...
