The bike bogs when you open the throttle, like it's getting too much gas? I'm assumeing...?

Did you change the needles with the diaphrams? or replace the old ones with the clips in a different position?(if your's have adjustable needles). If so, then the changes made the mainjet become/act larger than before.

But that's just my guess anyways.... :wink:

Check to make sure you did not pinch the diaphrams and they are in the correct position. Did you put the diaphram spring back in?
