seeing it hasnt been ridden for a while, its proberly because off that

your fuel may be off, replace with fresh fuel also drain the carby bowl firstly. and clean the sparkplug.

i put fresh fuel in it before i rode and cleaned the plug so that wasnt the problem

i had a mate who had a flat spot , we tried everything , fuel , jets , and all seemed to be good , but we tried the bike and not putting the air filter on and went fine , the darn thing was the size of an egg , and was restricting the bike , so just check your airfilter incase its dirty.

yeh that might be the problem it hasbt been cleaned in adges il let ya now if it makes a diference

Good to hear you're back to riding!

If its not the filter as Power Man has suggested, I'd suspect the mixture.

Now watch that leg!

Clean your air filter properly.
