    It idles fine but when starting out on a ride, pulling away from a stop it runs rough. It smooths out the faster you go. After 5-10 minutes, It cleans up an runs normally.

    If it's a carb issue, why does it go away when the engine gets hotter?

    (new plugs, oil+filter, air filter, fuel filter)

    Most likely some carb clogs (idle jets, mixture screw passages) restricting fuel delivery. A warm engine may run OK on a leaner mixture, but cold it needs more fuel. You could experiment with opening the idle mix screws a bit to see if that helps.

    So now you've started another new (at least the third) thread about the same bike not running good. If you don't keep all the facts, and notes, and data, and what you have or haven't tried all together in one thread, then you are just chasing your tail instead of getting the problem solved.

    When are you going to figure out that your carbs aren't working properly and need to be inspected/cleaned?

    I'm trying to learn Kenny, and before I dive into it, I'm going to look at all angles.

    Hearing "pull your fucking carbs!" every time there is a problem doesn't narrow it down. The better you can understand a problem and it's symptoms, the easier it is to fix. At least Squirreman suggested something simple I can, and should try.

    Do us a both a favor, quit reading my posts. If you feel I'm wasting forum resources- take it up with a moderator.
