I typed up a long post last night and it said a mod had to approve it before it could be seen. Wondering why it hasn't been approved yet -____-

Anyways, my last valve adjustment was done 3,000 miles ago, but that was 5 years ago, so it's probably time to check that.

Is a cracked vacuum hose from the choke that common? My choke closes completely but there have been times where i've noticed my bike idling at ~1500rpm. It's only been maybe 3-4 times but it's where i've run my bike up to the gas station (within a 1mile) and after I fueled up and started it, without the choke, it was running fine around 1500rpm with no rpm fluctuations.

Trying to figure out whether I should do a valve adjustment, carb cleaning, or a good seafoaming first. I will get to all of them by the time Spring rolls around, but what would help my problem the most, you think?
