WOW! Words can't describe how impressed I am with the responses I've received.

I checked a few things, such as plugs, wires, coil, but I haven't had time to check the tune out on the bike. It tarts up fine, so I naturally thought that the tune was good enough being that I rode it the previous day. I'm going to check the timing and everything tomorrow. I will report back with my findings and most likely a video! Thanks so much everyone!!!

Check the valves first.

I definitely will check that. They definitely are making some noise. The only reason I haven't yet is because the bike was running quite well yesterday. It ran literally perfect all day, and now It's having trouble taking off. But it revs fine in neutral and with the clutch in and once its in gear its fine, its the initial start that it bogs down and dies.

Okay! updates!

I checked the valves and they were all within spec. Some close, but within. And I started the bike up and let it idle, but it wouldn't rev up today. I'm thinking something along the lines of fuel issue. So i'm going to flush the tank once again and see what happens.

Thanks

When the carb pilot circuits are perfectly clean, a brand new aftermarket in-line fuel filter should be installed before any gasoline whatever is allowed into the carbs, as the "unfiltered" gasoline will quickly re-contaminate all the carb pilot circuits.

Good Fortune!

Good Fortune!

That's simple enough! Thanks Patton! I'm going now to get some supplies. I was able to get the bike to start and rev. A fuel filter is going to be purchased as well. Thank you so much. I'll report back with my findings as well

Okay! So things got worse, fast. I got it to idle after letting it run for 15 minutes, rode it, went to start it and it wouldn't idle without the choke on. So i cleaned the carbs, but have yet to fire it.

Heres my question. I purchased the bike with pod filters on, which I am not a fan of. Is there anywhere I could get a factory air box at?
