   I changed the plugs and oil on my furio and it was fine, after 50 miles its lost power and i mean alot, it revs fine though. Anybody had this problem or know a cure? I have searched.

   checked it and its fine, it seems like the engine is seizing like a brake holding it back but the brakes are fine, the engine has done 111 000 so could it be on its way out?

   Sound silly but have you put enough oil back in it? Does the oil light on the dash come on at all?
