I moved your post to the troubleshooting area. You posted in the "meet and greet" section.

From your description, sounds like you have a supercharger issue. Might be time for a rebuild. Though, your only showing 78 hours on your clock, it's a bit over 8 years old. You can't look at simply hours, but how long it's sat through seasons, heating up and cooling off. That makes a difference, especially if it were outside in the extreme temp changes.

Also, are you still running ceramic washers in your SC? They no longer use these because they would dissolve and come apart while riding, tearing up your motor.

If you feel it's under a load, whining when running, it could be the SC or you could be seeing the signs of a motor close to seizing. There isn't a lot a "shade tree" mechanic can do to these motors except replace broken parts because all changes or modifications to the operation of the motor is done through a computer........
