airbox/snorkle obstructions
poor gas quality/contaminated
values need to be adjusted
improper jetting
Any mods to the bike? Exhaust or airbox?

Thank you for your response. Yes, I realize I should have included this.
I added a Leo Vince slip-on. When I lived in AZ, I did not have any issues. The bike always started just fine.
I then moved to PA and the bike rode terribly. Bogged down and felt as if I was running at least 30% under power. And it ran very, very hot.
So, naturally, I thought I definitely needed a rejet. But, I was no longer able to ride, so the bike just sat.
Then I moved to NC, and I have not any of those issues. Now I just have a hard time getting her started.
I got the valves checked at 10k miles, and they said there were in spec. Now, whether or not they actually did the requested work is another question, but I used them often and they seemed honest.
Pretty sure I've run all of the stale gas out of the tank in the last 150 or so miles.
I will search for threads related to the other issues you mentioned.
Thank you again!
Ryan
