these things run like crap when the air box isnt sealed up tight, mine backfires and just runs terribly.

I would also check your carb diaphrams, hold up to light and look for pin holes. if there maybe try liquid electrical tape, just brush it on.

If its been sitting i would also give a about 1/2 bottle of seafoam in a tank of gas, run it hard until the gas is down and that should clean all the gunk out of your carbs.

 

good luck they are good bikes, but ya gotta ride em

Just like mentioned, runs like absolute crap with the airbox off or open. Put the lid back on and do a carb sync and see what happens.
