thank you very much for the feedback. I got a great deal on this bike and just replaced the droopy turn signals and changed the oil. She has 12k miles and runs like a cherry, but probably needs the new air filter. I don't see how the carbs could be sticky, but that's my last step.
I also noticed it also idles too low....between 500-and 800 rpm and requires excessive choke to keep it idling properly. K&N is on its way in the mail. Any other suggestions I haven't already thought of?
