It seems that since the 500 mile break in peroid is over and I have reduced the oil / gas mixture accordingly, the bike does not run as well as when it had a more rich mixture. I am not definite that this theory of mine is true or not or if its another issue so I thought I would ask. After about 600 miles now on the engine, its running worse than ever now. Its still going good but nowadays its rare if I can get get it to go 20mph like I use to. I use to be able to get it to a top speed on a flat road for a moment at 24mph and about 18-19 smoothly for flat long distances but now 20 seems somewhat out of the question without something adjusted. I know very little about these things so im wondering if it could it be needing a gasket changed due to air leaking from it? Or cleaning the air filter? Maybe something else. Maybe its the reduction in the oil/gas mixture that would normally cause this. Which is why I ask.
