Actually, I just got the bike off another fella. Upon receipt of the bike I tore down the carb, cleaned, checked float, and made note of the current jetting for a baseline to its current performance. So to answer your question, its had the bog since I got it.
The bike is taken to op. temp everytime before taking note of performance. At first I thought it was an over oiled filter but its not.
At this point my plan is to adjust the AP squirt just a bit, note response. Then change to a YZ needle which is more rich across the circuit.
I still think this bog is a result of a lean condition which is why I want a richer needle to play with. But, since my experience is limited I'm looking for confirmation from the experienced. Thanks guys!
