Thank you! And thank you for getting back to me! I bought a rebuild kit and planned on doing it with my friend who's done it before but he was busy so I decided to bring it to a mechanic. I'm pretty new to this stuff its my first bike but assuming he used the kit all the parts inside should be new. As for the factory internal fuel filter I did not find one. Just added the external following the bogging. Just cleaned and re oiled the air filter. And checked for vacuum leaks. Idle didn't change at all spray carbs with cleaner. I'm gonna give it another ride tomorrow and see if it persists.

On a side note prior to today, the day before adding the fuel filter I took it for a spin and it actually backfired a few times and it was excessively loud. I read this has to due with too much air not enough gas? Hopefully when I replace the petcock it helps as well, may have **** stuck in it after draining the tank when I first got it.

Thanks again!
