Glad to hear that you got your machine sorted Franz.
Unfortunately my bike still has problems... It's now been sitting in my garage for nearly 3 months. I haven't even bothered to start it.
I will look at it again in 6 weeks or so, but I now believe that the bore may be glazed over... It's been run all of its life on semi-synthetic oil (as recommended by my yamaha dealer) and after speaking to a few people, i've been told that these big air-cooled thumpers are best run on plain old mineral oil, which allows the rings and bore to bed in and seal properly.
So, it might need to be honed, with a new set of rings and a change to mineral oil.
Will keep all you guys posted as to what happens anyway!
Cheers, Dan.
