Cost me a pretty penny but it had to be done....if anyone remembers me talking about the sportsman having white smoke out the tailpipe....found the problem out...had to be rebored,new rings,gaskets,and the hole works... took it to my mechanic and he did it for me. The cylinder was egg shaped instead of round. he said part of the problems was my UNI filter
not that the filter was bad, but i didnt know they had to be oiled as much as they did, i kinda let it get dry and all the dust had gotten through.
but now it runs great again... so to all who dont check the filters, check them,clean them, and OIL them
