Check the compression and valve clearances. Worst case it'll give you a foundation to work off of.

i think ur prolly lookin at a rebuild. and u might have a blown base gasket. when was the last time u got ur top end rebuilt?? if it was a while ago, that is prolly the culprit

If your riding wide open all the time, no matter what you do .. you will continue to have problems.
I had a 400ex I raced for 3 years, even with a built motor.. didn't have a single problem .. sold it to some kid who rides it wide open all the time, hes had it less than a year and blown it up 3 times.
