When you pulled your plugs were they really "wet"? It sounds to me like it's not jetted right. Your dealer may not have jetted it right for your altitude.

Well it could be a whole heap of things. Maybe your air screw has backed off some. Or maybe you've got some dirt in your jets. Could be your floats. Could also be a loose plug wire connection.

Your best bet is to start with the simple fixes and move your way up. Usually when there is a problem it's something stupid. Start with the gas, plugs then the Air filter. Then move to the plug wires and air screw. Then pull the carbs and pull them apart and clean them. Then check your reeds. Just go thru the whole system.

If none of those fix your problem then take it to the dealer or your mechanic.

sounds like your parking brake may be stuck on. If it is your bike wont rev over 2500 rpm or so. Check it out just to rule out the possibility. Good luck!!
