well i was having some hesitation issues with the bike, i passed it off as carb issues. so after reading on here something about the exhaust donut from some light chatter i had been hearing i decided to take a look at the exhaust clamps. all 4 were loose, one was finger tight. now i know these were tight before and if my mirror bolt backing out has taught me anything its that these bikes rattle things loose, lol. so i noticed that there was some black soot near the connectors so i tightened things down and the bike runs alot better now, its cleaner, i dont have to mess withthe choke nearly as much while riding it at cruising rpm and she just feels healthier.

not sure what the point of this post is, maybe to make people aware that things get loose on these bikes and that they should give them a once over here and there to make sure nothings come off

Glad you figured it out!
