Got myself my first V-max last summer and I've been so far really happy with the thing. However seems that I've run out of luck as I started feeling momentary power loss and exhaust popping when driving on stable revs (2000-4000) in the beginning of summer. After some investigation the spark plug in cyl #3 was pitch black. Swapped the plugs without any improvement so I decided to take it to a shop. They confirmed that cyl #3 is not having proper pressure so it is leaking it somewhere. They checked coils, valves, cleaned carburetors and changed a load of gaskets but nothing helped. So they gave up...
Before I take it to another shop and pay another 1000 I figured that I might as well seek some help from forums if people have had similar issues. Any advice where to start looking for the culprit would be highly appreciated.
