OK- looks like a simple cover removal and inspection is in order. I did inspect and carefully align and clamp the double clamped carb bootie- it's in good shape.
If no sign of crud in the seal area I will probably still replace. Also new top end rings, base gaskets, exhaust valve clean-up, ect. Won't be able to put a load on it for a little bit to check power loss area but it will allow me to measure fit/ring gap. I did see dark carbon between the rings about 15 ride hours back with the exhaust off. Was told this is normal.
Thanks and please add more comments still if you wish.
