has very little power, cant accellerate worth a ship, can only pull 4th driving down the road. The kind of performance like a Geo could keep you out.

Lack of power and no exacting characteristics leave it wide open for interpretation. I would check fuel / air filter as well as clean the carbs.....what exactly is it doing.

ok the bike has poor driveability at low speeds, AKA: Lack of power, accelleration ability
the bike has poor driveability at high speeds, AKA: Lack of power, have to stay in 4th to do 70
the bike has poor performance at high speed, AKA: wont pick up quickly between gears
the bike gets horred gas miliage: 20mpg at any speed

the carbs are spotless, I use 91+ Octane gas
new spark plugs, they are gapped right and clean
new main airfilter, Fram
new oil and oil filter, Quaker State Q advanced engine synthedic and a fram filter


I am thinking it eaither has to be an air vent filter air vent solenoid valve outer air vent tude out of connection sub air cleaner tubes or the DAI cuct must some how leak or something. I have put 1500 miles on the bike this way. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
