Ok, so the past couple days I've noticed that my bike is getting picky when the temp gets hot. It runs fine when it first starts up, but when I get it warmed up and go to take off, say from a light or in traffic, it bogs way down, and if I give it full throttle it continues to bog down and then TAKES OFF. If I keep the RPM's up higher than 4 or 5k, it's ok, but if I let it idle at the light, it bogs when it's time to go. The fan is kicking on, I can hear it, so I know it's not a simple overheating issue.

So far we've checked the coolant to make sure it had some in it. I thought maybe I had gotten a bad tank of gas, so I ran some stuff that was referred to me called "Sea Foam" which is a carb/fuel cleaner. It was actually much better for a while, but as soon as I put more gas in it, it went to shit again.

I don't know if my carbs have been jetted before I picked up the bike, because I don't have the history for it. I know I haven't done it. And I recently replaced the flywheel inside the stator, and gave the battery a fresh charge. I also did a chain adjustment, and bumped the idle up just a touch. It was idling before at a really low RPM, and I bumped it up to 1K.

Everything ran ok all through bike week, and the day after bike week this began to occur. The temp when it started was roughly 96-100* outside, but the day after it was roughly 80 - 85* outside. The temp when I've noticed this going on is roughly half way to 3/4 way on the gauge.

Any ideas? I don't want to randomly rip the bike apart, so if anyone's gone through this before, I'd LOVE the advice!!!

Thanks guys!
