History: None. Bike is bone stock. I bought it with 700 miles on it, and I thought that it had been sitting for a while (because of this performance problem) which is why I swapped the carbs with the other ones. The carbs I switched them to were not brand new but were from a forum member who said the carbs were in great condition and he never had problems with them.

Concerns: you said it perfectly, from what I understand. I can have my boyfriend explain it better later but he told me its like a bogging as you let out the clutch, and it runs like crap as well as idling high. But the bike does run.

This thread was from when I swapped the carbs to solve the original problem. The problem described in the thread - the gas cutting off - was due to a mismatched hose, as you can see from my response earlier
