I would double check the filter before anything else and completely drop the oil, look for any nasties in it.

 

The second drain plug is right beside the Starship Enterprise filter housing.

 

IIRC the oil filter hole should be at the bottom.

 

I'm not a fan of engine flush products. I occasionally fill the bike up with an appropriate el cheapo oil after dropping the old stuff, still using the old filter, and get it up to temperature with a short ride. Get back home, drop the cheap oil and put some decent stuff and a new filter in. I re-use the el cheapo a few times. Scottish ancestors.

My bike has 70'000+km's on it and the oil stays remarkably clean doing this.
