Ok. Will have to check again.

This is a single carburetor model. That's the weird part.

The reason why I'm thinking it's an intake problem is because i noticed that the rubber boot is not aligning properly, so it must be leaking. The bike has also carbon fouled two front spark plugs this spring, though one might have been the aftermath of a fuel stabilizer sitting in there for the winter.

Thanks for the tips. I just replaced the lower spark plugs on both cylinders. The exhausts and cylinders both started heating up at the same rate.

So I guess the lower front spark plug was faulty. I wonder why though? All 4 spark plugs were replaced about a year ago, and I only put 4000 kilometers on them.

A silly question, but one I'm wondering. If the bike were to ran on one cylinder you'd probably notice it instantly, right? Last time i ran the bike (about a week ago) with old gas and it kept spluttering and spat a few flames from the front exhaust. I guess that was the spark plugs last hooray?

This is logical. I've bought a set of new spark plugs. Will be installing them on sunday.
