lol ok lets focus on this thread lol.. i dont wanna start confusing you lol.. ok first i'll start by draining the bowl and see where that gets me... i have been running it alittle bit but it hasnt improved.. so i'll drain it and check it again...

now if that dont work should i check the jet?
how hard is that gonna be to check that.. will i have to take the fenders and tank off just to get to it?

thanks for the help

if it wont pick up its rpm its either the valve or the cam, just take the valve cover off and see if the exhaust valve moves up enough...
