update: i filled her up with some 93 gas and rode her for about 45 minutes and then BAM my horsepower and torque kicked back on! before that it didn't have the full torque or horsepower and could only get up to about 60 mph. i rode it for another 1.5 hours after that but STILL have that problem when i idle and the 0-2100 rpms, will this too "BAM" and eventully go away with the more i ride you think?

If you took the engine cases and the exhaust off, then I'd double check that the sensor on the alternator side was reinstalled correctly with the original shim because there is an air gap that must be within a certain tolerance for the sensor to read the stator. Did you powdercoat the cases or use a paper gasket that would increase the dimension of the sensor air gap? Just a theory, probably not the culprit but worth checking. Then I'd make sure the exhaust was fitted tightly and the clamps were on snug to eliminate the possibility of exhaust leaks which could make a bike run rough.

i was waiting for someone to mention that sensor and i did ask if it sounded like it could be a sensor problem......i did powder coat the generator case and just put the sensor back in without measuring the gap or anything (and just noticed that it appears to be leaking oil or somehing from the sensor). maybe i'll take that shim off and try it and see how that goes.   thanks
