My Bike's Overheating, Why? (sorry for the honda question)

Yeah, I read a post recommending the motoman break-in method which is basically the "run it hard" school of thought. I did that for the first few miles but then my tale pipe caught on fire. I wondered why the motor was bogging down and why people seemed to be staring more than normal. Just too much crud built up in there over the years. In hindsight, I thought is was kind of cool to be riding around with a big old flame out the back. But just not practical.

I wonder if the effects of a new top end would be the same on a 4 stroke as a 2 cycle? I don't see why it wouldn't. That would be great if the bike doesn't need anything. The motorcycle veteran I talked to the other day thinks I need to check out the ignition timing.
