need some help fast. ok, on the 28th i took the bike out and it ran fine. let it sit for one day. today i hop on and cant get the bike past fifty. it just bogs down when you roll the throttle on. so i pull it apart. fuel pump is working, filter is ok, lines are not clogged. it did this the first day i rode it after i put new plugs in, then i fiddled with the on/off/reserve switch and it worked for another 100 miles. i pulled the plugs and found them to be lean(way too blonde in color). got any ideas, thanks fellas. and no, its not that one way valve in the gas cap i already checked it and its breathing fine.

When the bike is acting up try playing with the choke. If the condition improves it is probably fuel related.
All the choke thing does is tell you it is probably not an ignition problem. If it runs better with choke it also gives you a hint that it is lean. Lots of things can cause it to run too lean including something as simple as a vacuum line off or cracked.
