is ur pickup coil rubbing the flywheel? r you sure its comeing from the engine and not the chain roller? i had a worn out roller and i thought i fucked up my tranny cuz i heard a weird grinding noise but it was just the chain sliding off the roller
i break mine in by starting it let it idle for 5 mins blip the throttle acouple times then kill it repeat again then the 3rd time i take it around my field quarter throttle 3rd gear then the final time i shift through all the gears 3/4 throttle then its ready to go i always let the cyls get cold to the touch inbetween heat cycles
i run pcs on my 421 serval great pipe for trail and play riding but it is a pretty much a mid range pipe pulls like a mofo mid range then smooths out on the top end
through m&m the 421 kit (68mm cub cylinders,4mil crank,head, domes, and pistons) was $1700 then with small stuff like billet basket new clutches lock out lockout cover and dunable override i have $2500 into it
also i had the exact same prob with my 1-5 it would shift fine every couple pass but then i found out you need to have your shifter perfectly adjusted or it will not shift right
