Hey guys. have a question, lately my bike has been having some issues. When I try to start it it takes about a dozen kicks to start it and when it does start only the left will fire, then after about 30 seconds the right cylinder stats with a extremely loud backfire. When I dive it down the road it is very sluggish with the right cylinder popping and giving little or no power. I have checked the spark plug and it's a cocoa brown and have adjusted the right carb adjuster to no avail. Any suggestions?:shrug:
 
as i have found over and over.. take off your carbs and clean them.. especially the right side.. there is something in there somewhere.. take out all of your jets inspect them.. blow air through every hole..

everyone seems to have the same issue at one point including me.. do a search.. and the fix is always redo the carb..
