went to ride my bike last night....
Didnt really let it warm up just used the choke and went.. my bike seemed like it was hesistating which has never happened before. Even after it warmed up the bike just didnt have the get up and go or half the power it usually does... in first gear i felt like an old lady starting
 any ideas? 1thing i noticed when before i turn the engine on and after i turn it off the oil light comes on..... just making sure thats ok and it has enough oil to lube the engine when starting so it doesnt damage.

That is how the oil light is supposed to work.
The bike may be just asking you for a nice "allegro" ride.

It's pretty warm and muggy up in our parts with excessive heat warnings for the next couple days. I'm wondering if it's jetting, especially if it just started and this humid weather moving in...

First of all dude, I'm sorry to read about your troubles, I know how frustrating it is when our beloveds get all cranky and not working
 One thing you should avoid doing though is WARMING YOUR ENGINE AT STANDSTILL! You should start it up (with or without choke) and just ride!...(if with choke, easing it off once engine temp is up or your rpms are above ~1700). As to the hesitations you're experiencing, I'd put in some more seafoam before taking out the carbs...you might also want to look at the state of your air filter and check your fuel lines for any leaks and proper connections. Good luck

So I put some seafoam in and about a mile away from my house the sputtering stopped and my bike acted like it got a kick of nitrous...... I rode it all the way to work with no issues... I don't think this thing is resolved really. I was wondering about the fuel filter. Maybe somehting got stuck in it then got moved?
