As per the advice of this page and it's contributors, I've recently rejetted my bike (and corrected a self-induced exhaust problem) and my bike has been running great ever since. I got the jets at the dealer and thru BikeBandit (after buying the wrong pilots from the dealer, assuming they knew what to sell me. bad assumption). Washers from Lowe's for maybe 87 cents or something. So jets, washers and a 1-tooth-smaller front sprocket for less than $30, and the bike runs like hell. So thanks to all yinz for the help and for saving me from spending alot more or maybe even selling it. This is a great site.
