Carbs stick below 45 deg. F.
I've noticed today that it seems my carbs seem to stick a tiny bit below 45 deg. F. for a second or so upon warm-up and constant steady low-speed at low rpms is a tiny bit rough even when warmed up. It's very subtle but noticable.
My bike was sitting for about 3 weeks in a garage about 30 degrees or so. Dirty 1-year-old air-cleaner or dirty carbs or dirty sticking needle?
Worthy of carb-cleaner in tank, Marvel Mystery Oil, or dealership carb cleaning?

My guess?
Clean the slides.
See the "Clunk, Die" fix in the knowledge base.

I used silicone/teflon spray(the non oil kind) in very small amounts to lube the slides cause it dries, doesn't attract dirt, & still lubricates..
A clean slide is a happy slide
