Ok I have an update. Took bike to dealer they investigated and determined it was rings.  So they began the breakdown. Once they had both cylinders off they saw a substantial groove cut into the front cylinder. About 2 inches down from the top and half way around the circle. Well dealer contacted mother Harley and a day later said new motor. So they are sending a new motor for my bike. Mother Harley's thinking was a gouge that large has sent metal all through the motor. Fortunately for me this happened about 6 weeks before my warranty runs out. My bike has 29000 miles on it. Gonna miss the Leesburg bike fest but oh well I'll have damn near a new scooter.

That's great there doing the right thing and replacing the engine, but I wonder what caused the groove, lifters staring to come apart??

Well that's a great question that no one at the dealer has been able to answer. Cause I have asked it.
