I took the R out after a few weeks of sitting and it drove like crap. I got about 2500 miles until the next service but figured it needed an oil change. After that I got it out on the interstate and just gave it a nice cruise. Things began to improve almost instantly. After a few good miles I turned around and started to try and figure out what had happened. Did my oil just turn to sludge after sitting? I did a few runs at WOT in 4th around 3200 RPM and 58 mph I started getting a Pffffteeeeewww RRRRRRR Pfffffttttteeewwwww. I then was able to recreate the sound at all speeds with just the WOT and 3200 RPM. I am not happy. I have no mods, and have never had an issue. I would like to fix this all myself, so I can save money for my IPD shopping cart. I have been reading the other threads on this, but there seems to be a wide array of causes and fixes. Any ideas?
