Hello everyone. I'll start by saying that I've been doing some research around the forum this morning and still could use some help. Rode my bike around all day on thursday, and it was running like a top (as usual). Went to fire it up this morning to head to work and it wanted to stall after starting (choke on full with some throttle). Usually I barely even have to touch the starter button and BAM, she fires right up. Tried again and with some extra love she turned over. As I slowly released the choke (like I usually do.. though it still requires a little throttle until warm) the bike sounded somewhat gurgley and still wanted to stall out. I figured in my rush off to work mentality that since the weather has cooled down significantly, there's been some rain, and I hadn't been on the bike all weekend it was just having a rough morning and would smooth out as she warmed up.
So I rode to work (only about 2 miles) and could tell she wasn't getting any better. Parked in the garage near work. When I touched the pipe out of cylinder 1, it was warm, but not hot. Touched the pipe on cylinder 2 and pretty much instantly melted my fingertips. 3 and 4 were hot as well.
I don't have my spark plug spanner with me so I wasn't able to pull the plug on cylinder 1 and check for fouling. But like I said, it was running GREAT on my last ride with no issues whatsoever. I'm gonna pull the plug when I get home, but if it's not fouled up, what would that indicate?
Any tips or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Nervous to get off work later and have to ride home, but we'll see what happens when I start her up again.
