While that may be true, bikes don't also lose 75% of their power and backfire into the intake rampantly when they get hot. At least, they're not supposed to lol.
Sounds like it, but the problem disappears when I let the bike cool down. Issue persists as soon as it warms up again.
Didn't know that about the plugs though, thanks!
First pic is left side, second pic is right side. As I said, these plugs were brand spanking new, they only have one ride on them before I pulled them to take these pictures. They are gapped correctly from the factory at about .028
Another update. Swapped exhaust for another factory exhaust (don't ask why I have two). Revs much nicer now. Unfortunately, the issue came back.

1. Runs mostly fine when cold/for around 10min of riding
2. Slight hesitation at low rpm's though
3. Moment of bliss...
Yessir, that I did. Lots of compressed air and lots of carb cleaner, directly into the passages. I definitely need to fix the tank though, but I think I'll sell it before it gets to that.

Unfortunately, the issue is back, and in full force. Amongst other problems, I'm just going to see if you guys can help me identify this one issue.

My bike has been plagued with issues for the longest time. Just got the most recent issue fixed by my mechanic, and now these issues present themselves.
In short, my bike feels like it's missing about half of its horsepower. Giving it throttle from idle, the throttle bogs for a good second...
