The gas nowadays goes bad and can tarnish (if you will) really fast you should proably remove carb.soak for 24hr.s in a high flash solvent and blow out all passages

carbs need some spring maintenance-fuel could be old or not being brought from tank well-the enricher should be serviced-buy a clymer repair book n learn what the pros know
New oil (5 US quarts, 20w40, for motorcycles with wet clutches. Despite
the bike, this does NOT generally include V-Twin oil, which is designed
for bikes with separate engine and transmission oil, typically. This
can greatly effect clutch and transmission efficiency and
functionality.)
First off did you buy it new? Second has it gone through its break in tune up yet?Did you do the re jeting? My guess is it was re jeted wrong & neeeds to be re jeted again or could also need more air(upgraded air kit) or a tfi or power comand fuel mod.My bike also poped untill I did the air & fuel upgrades & them upgrades will also give you a much needed house power needed for this rig.
By now you've noticed it's not possible to sit on the bike and see the sightglass at the same time...get yourself an inspection mirror from Harbor Freight or anywhere that has tools. Get one with a handle that telescopes out. This way you can sit on the bike and use the mirror to see the sightglass. This will allow you to move the bike slightly off center and find the oil level. If it's covering the sightglass completely, it's too full. Black oil indicates a change badly needed and perhaps a filter that's not working properly. If it's still in breakin, then it's still under warranty. Get with your dealer..
