Okay, so update time. I haven't had much time to post lately.

I tried everyone's suggestions and none of them were it. I took it to the shop and they told me it had low compression. They took apart the top end of the engine and saw the problem.

It was blown Piston.
It was $678 to repair. $240 for parts $370 for labor and the rest is for an oil change and tax. My baby is all fixed now.

I asked what they think had caused it and they said most likely over reving it.
I do ride it hard, like around 9 or 10 rpm daily on a highway for about 20 miles one way. I always figured if I didn't redline all the time I'd be fine.

Well that's the story, thanks again for the help everyone! I know I can always count on this forum!
