Disappointed! Bike running slow

Thanks for the plug info guys, I might as well pick one up and try it. I blew out the magneto and got just a teensie bit of water, but still cuts out at the same speed. It does sound cool as **** with the baffle out, I was really suprised how loud this is!! Cops would be all over me if I drove it like that!

I would take a hair dryer or heat gun and completly dry it out. I would also seal it up with silicone on the entry for the wires and the cover gasket. I also run NGK plugs and have in all my metric bikes. I am currently using the B6HS, have changed the plug wire as well as the cap. Big difference....
 
ok, I installed the NGK B6HS and it made no difference what-so-ever, I will try the hair dryer trick, maybe drain the gas and put new gas in it. I can't imagine the fuel being the problem because it runs too good up to that point. could I being sucking air somewhere? I wish something i have tried would at least have made it worse so that I might have a clue as to what it is.
 
Need to keep checking things, have you checked the screen in the petcock? Junk in the tank will plug the screen. Take the hose off and see if gas comes out. You can spray carb cleaner around intake while its running to check for air leak, just be careful. being flammable.
 
Do you see any problems with the magneto components?

Well it looks ok except where the wires go into the engine should be sealed with silicone or RTV. The water can get right in there. You might also check the conections from the magneto to the CDI. I see some rust on other things maybe those connections got rusty or are loose. Did you try checking the intake for leaks?

Oh and by the way I did see another problem, not with the bike but with the camera, the date is wrong....

Let us know what you find, and Good Luck....

lol. found the problem, it was the cheezy *** bullit connectors on the wiring. I stripped of the plastic covers and soldered them together and then taped them. Runs like a champ again! Thanks so much for everyones help!!!!
