ok so i've taken the header and exhaust off the bike. when reinstalling i put new gaskets and new bolts. Bike starts and runs normal at idle. But when i put into first and ride forward it is inconsistent. It will go normal then all the sudden lose all it's power and die. Ran perfect last summer...also i noticed that there is smoke coming from between the header and the cylinders...i torqued it down to 17 ft-lb....which is right? how else can i diagnose and fix the leak because i really think that is the problem....

Even if you don't know what to lisent for, it should be a sound that isn't even on all 4.

so i went to go check if i could hear that noise and like some sort of miracle...no leak...and so i took it and rode it around a little bit...and no problem....I didn't DO anything to fix it. Makes no sense...i have no idea what happened. I really hope it doesn't cause me problems later.Comment

It doesn't sound like an exhaust problem to me. It would run with a major leak or even just headers.
Check the bowls and make sure they aren't gummed up from sitting.Comment
