Hi,
Nathan Lovern here. Been enjoying the warm weather so far. Rideing my xs to work. I have noticed she is begining to develope a lowspeed off throttle back sputter (not really a backfire) from the right side.
The bike runs fine otherwise. I know the poor ol thing is leaned out bad from the factory and the plugs are light brown in color. The carb boots look ok. Dont see any cracks.
Could it be intake air leak or exhaust leak?
I went up 2 teeth on back sprocket this year and i can notice a big grunt improvment when she pulls:) Havent gotten wife on it yet but hope it pulls us around better.
I noticed i dont have to slip clutch now to pull out .
hope everyone has a good summer with no deer .
Nathan,Va
