i have the same problem...well sorta in a way. difficult to start/idle when cold but when warm runs good. after temp is normal- throttle response is very slow and almost seems to bog down...but before the temp gets up it seems to run well(keep in mind i live in tx) no mods on the bike, all stock. the bike sat for 2years and ive cleaned the carbs a few times (had issues removing the idle set screw cover) ive also pressure washed and parts wash bin'ed the tank a few times to be 100%..along with new fuel filter.

im unsure but im pointing at the fuel pump to my issue, or maybe the relay. i havnt checked voltage yet but if anyone can tell me if its soposed to be 12veven or is the voltage sopposed to alternate durring pressure increases.

also my head is fairly noisy-im sure a valve adj wouldnt hurt but id rather put that off till later-as far as the chain guide, is it possible to inspect or replace it with the motor in frame?

my bike is just a side project and since the season is almost over- ive got all winter to get it running right- so IF pulling the motor IS necesary, is there anything else to help improve running quality/preventative maintenance while i have it out?

hopefully we both have the same issue and your mech's solution could help mine as well, but if not keep us posted either way.
