I'll second the notion of obstructed intake. One of our IL members had a performance issue that turned out to be an oil soaked air filter from a mis-f...

Another trick is to put the seal in a cup of hot water for a few minutes to make it more pliable.

An R100R would be an RS without the body work. Maybe OK. Not sure about other suppliers.

In order, the answers would be; 1) Yes. my bike at 50K had a very rusty heat affected zone from the heads to the crossover pipe. 2) Yes and yes. 3)...
