i haven't rode or even start my bike for 5 weeks now...and went for a ride yesturday...the bike feels so much different...it feels heavier and just more rough in general...

should i put carb cleaner in it or should i just run a couple tank of gas to smoothin things out?

Could be that you haven't rode it in a while, but carb cleaner and fresh gas wouldn't hurt, either.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
