help guys, bike runs like ass

[05Special]

i was riding today regularly and my bike bogged then fired then bogged again, after it bogged the second time it stalled. It would not start at all, i had low gas so i put it on reserve. didn't work. I still had plenty of gas to ride. After that i took gas from my freinds bike and after about 20 kicks it started but would only stay running with the choke on, without the choke it would stall. I had to ride all the way home with the choke on to get out of wherei was. after it was warm again i pushed in the choke and it would just wind out. when i hit the gas. ANy ideas? appreciate it guys

could be a clogged jet ...be a good place to start!

Definately your carbs dirty. Soake in carb cleaner for short time and bloww all jets and passage ways with compressed air. Also check plugs and clean or replace

While the gas tank is still low....empty it out and swish some gas to clean it out. I'd also remove the petcock and check the strainer thingy for debris. Clean it while you're at it.

 

And...as said, completely disasemble the carbs and clean 'em out. I'd even get a small piece of wire and clean the pilot circuit out, etc.

 

Check your float height, while you're at it, and don't mix the float bowls...
