To be fair I can't imagine it being the fuel pump, they only click about once every 20 seconds when they're operating as they should. I would be more inclined to look at a fuel starve problem from the side of not enough air getting back into the tank.

Trace the rubber line that runs down and exits near the right footpeg, blow back through and see if your eyes bulge.

Report back.

i have the gas cap off the bike and same effect so we can rule out the vent
got to looking at wat i guess is the air mix screw on the carb it only turns 3/4 og a tun and it has a small stop on it to keep it from going any further
any ideas on the factory settings?
