That sounds like the engine is not firing on all four cylinders. It's that slow if that's the case.
1. Does it run with a rough sound? If so, you could possibly have one coil out , and you'd have two dead cylinders, one on either side, cooler than the others. If so, please spray water mist onto the exhaust headers as they leave the engine. You'll see which cylinders are running poorly. 2. If it is fuel related: The fuel can flood, making the bike run poorly. Shut off the fuel petcock. This happens to mine once in a while, I drain the fuel from the bowls of the carburetor, and let it dry out for an hour. Then I refuel the bowls by turning the fuel petcock back on. 3. You can put soapy water around the spark plugs to check if you have any gasses leaking out during compression. 4. If you haven't tested your compression already, you might want to. Pressing the start button on a cylinder with the plug removed and your thumb over the hole, the compression should puff your thumb up off the hole. Lets us know and answer each with the numbers above, okay?
