Not sure about the PO, but I've owned it for 4 years now and always used synthetic.

Have you installed an inline fuel filter? Good for keeping trash from reaching the carbs and messing them up.

No I have not, unfortunately.

do you hear ticking? it sounds like you blew a crank
or maybe just a stuck float valve?

With all the burping noises from the intake, I can't be sure. I did replace the float valves so that's a good possibility.

Open the gas filler and listen for air rushing in, which would tell you it's not venting.
Opening the floatbowl drains would tell you if you had fuel to the carb. You also may not be getting adequate vacuum to the petcock because of a vacuum hose problem.
Was the gas fresh? Any rust in the tank?

I didn't hear any air rushing in when I opened it. The float bowls did have fuel in them, and the gas was fresh. Bad gas possibly? And yeah I will check the petcock next as well.
FWIW, during all this, the bike never overheated or anything like that. There's oil in it, and it's not milky or otherwise contaminated.
