Acceleration dip and running hot

Post by vennie »

2010 R1200RRT. MU. Some advice please bike had a fluids service. Oil level was a bit high as sight glass misty. Now got it correct. Bike started puffing out oily smoke on start and under hard acceleration. Yesterday on longish run in 23C heat started to run hot at 3rd mark on temp gauge. At junctions short power loss on accelerating to get away then surge of power. Causing bike to bunny hope. At higher speed less power. When stopped and starting again a sharp clonking sound then bike fires up.
No idea what could be going on with it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Di
