Have owned bike a few months. Was told that motor was "fresh".
noticed right away that oil was black and when I replaced it, was black again in a very short time.
Last weekend I rode on highway about 40 miles at 65-70 mph. when I got off highway noticed engine sounded louder and clunky. On ride home it seemed like it was barely going to make it. Prior to this it ran fine. I have attached a shortcut to a video of my engine. can anyone notice anything from the sound or have can recommend a few things to try. Move timing (electronic) a little but at no point did it run correct. Can a coil be partially bad? Bent or stuck valve? Thanks for reading!!!!

actually "exhaust side" is belt side and vice versa
