[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1343525, member: 68872"] Like Rich said, you should also check the jetting. I have recently been experimenting with jetting on my bike. Like yours, it lacked bottom end but otherwise seemed to run OK but my biggest complaint was that it would foul plugs frequently (several hours of riding) and the "spooge" was just making a mess everywhere. I ended up dropping the main jet three sizes and the needle jet 6 sizes. What surprised me the most is how much I changed it without any dramatic change in how it ran. After the last needle jet change I finally had a change in performance, a slight bog which was corrected by raising the needle two clip positions. Now I am not fouling plugs any more. The spooge is much less. I seem to be getting much better gas mileage. And my bottom end is better! Before I changed the jetting if I didn't downshift when it started slowing down on a hill it would just stop. Now I seem to have a lot more torque at the bottom end so I am not slipping the clutch as much as I used to. Rod [/QUOTE]
