Have a 2008 GSA and have noticed since the 600 mile service and it seems to be getting worst is after using the bike the pannier next to the exhurst pipe is black...i mean really black..with a build up of black carbon..
Also and im not sure of this had a ride to the NEC from my home address some 120 mile and it used £30 to get there sounds not right any views

Back to the dealer is the best thing I can suggest!

Yep, sounds like the fueling is all wrong and its running very rich. get it back before you do damage (unburnt petrol can wash the oil off the pistons)
