First a few weeks ago my biek took 3 to 4 seconds to start instead of 1..so I ran some sea foam seemed to help, then it started to bog like it was losing one cylinder on acceleration in second gear..sometimes third but always between 2,000 and 3,500 rpm fairly consistence but not always??? . Last night it got much worse..ran poorly in all gears on acceleration and at speed, popping out the air box, again like it had lost a cylinder for about 3 minutes. Then all of sudden the problems stopped and ran like it should..strong.
So I figured it's time for a carb cleaning if not a rebuild it's only been two years so I hope just a cleaning. But what else could be? loose wire in spark circuit? some other electronic item going south?
How about a list of most likely from first to check to least likely..just trying to reduce my diagnostic time..I suck at it...
