Now that I got your attention maybe people can tell me if this is normal. Brand new 07 Outlaw IRS. I noticed right away if I give it a good amount of gas the bike will stall and die. Maybe its normal until break-in period is over? ALso when I parked it there was a little bit of white smoke comming out of the exhaust, which means oil was burning somewhere.
So I took it out for the 3 hour break in period. Started the engine and no white smoke. Listening to the engine I would say I never went above 1/2 of the rpm through any of the gears. I did open the throttle up at the end of the three hours but only for acceleration and would cruise under 50% of the engine's RPM's like I had been doing. I finish the ride and noticed there was oil in this little tray on the frame. Its located on the lower left side of the engine, next to the shift lever. I could not find where it was dripping from but I felt the engine and it had oil on it.
