Last week I got a 2001 Honda XR 200. It had one owner and looked absolutely mint. Supposedly, the guy never rode it much and after about two months he traded it in for a KX125.
A friend of mine has a 97 XR 200 and I let him ride my bike today. He said it had the same power and speed, but that it wasn't as responsive and quick to hit it's top power when climbing hills. The bike bogged at the top of a hill that he always climbs on his 200 without bogging. It will bog down on me if I'm on a hill but not into the optimum RPM range. Then if I go and try to hit the throttle real quick, it sputters and coughs and bogs more. We both thought that it might be because the bike isn't fully broken in yet. Will my bike start to perform like his older bike?
I mean, it's running excellent, but it doesn't have the same performance as his bike and he has no extras on it. Can someone help me out?
