Low RPM cruising it has a little hesitation pop like the carb is gunked. I changed the gas and no change. Going to ride for a few days and see if it clears on its own before opening it.
The free-play in your chain should be between 1/2 & 9/16 inch.When you tighten your chain spin the wheel to make sure you are at the tightest part of the chain.Put a good quality carb cleaner in the tank.Berrymans B-12,or Seafoam are good quality ones to use.
