I have read almost every post on the site and haven't found a definitive answer to this problem.
My newly purchased 1997 with stock carb/exhaust/air filter runs fine when first started. As it warms up, it starts running rougher and rougher. When at full operating temp, it won't idle and runs very rough until above about 3 - 4000 rpm. Have to keep reved up and is difficult to take off from a stop without stalling. It seems to get worse the longer I ride it. :sad2:
The bike is not over-heating. The fan never comes on and the temp guage never gets above the half-way mark. The charging system is fine. (Passes all tests as outlined in the shop manual including the 14v at 5000 rpm test). ullhair:
Hopefully, someone here is familiar with these symptoms. :th_help:
