    The bike runs rough at these rpms. Feels maybe a little fuel starved, not sure. Combine this with low (I think) mpgs, wonder if my fuel mixture is off, or floats. But I'm not good enough to tell if its a fuel problem or some sort of issue with gears, rear drive, something.

    Does it stumble at this RPM no matter what gear you are in?

    If so, I would want to know about valve clearances and carb cleaning and carb synch.

    One beauty of the carb synch bottles is that you can see carb balance while the motor is revving any any RPM.
