Did you oil it again and try or was it just dry. I say check what your main jet is and try a new plug just for shits and grins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebanshee Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I think it is the 1 1/4 inch handle bars Could also check plug caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1Inferno Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Whenever somthing like this happens, the first thing i do is clean the carbs. In your case the carb, try new plugs also, dont just clean them sometimes that doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White97Banshee Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Swap the blue powerband out for the yellow one Just kidding. Clean the carbs and check for anything clogging air/fuel passages! That happened to me when my spark arrester was clogged up it wouldn't get on the pipes and it pissed me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
