Pitbull01, sounds like your determined. Like I said, should have some one with you. here's a start....check and make sure you don't have any air leaks, check the manifold gaskets, you can do this two ways, spray starting fluid around the intake (BE CAREFUL DONIG THIS IT'S FLAMMABLE) If you have a leak the RPM's will increase. Or use WD40 spray around manifold RPM's will decrease or bike will sputter a bit, of course you do this with the bike running. If this does not yield results, pull the carb bowl and check jet sizes, both slow speed and main.....then get new jets next size bigger, get new plugs, run bike recheck plugs..........oh, and use that tear drop air cleaner. This is just a quick guide, search the forum, ask more questions, take your time. Now, I gotta pack for trip to AZ. Good luck.
