check your coolant level, it should be at a level where you can see it

ok, your coolant is fine. i am thouroughly convinced your bike is running lean. tig, his bike didnt just become lean out of nowhere, he said it was like that the whole time he's had it. so, i suggest you start your bike, warm it up, rev it for a second, and if you can, it would help to ride it even 6 feet. then immediately pull out your spark plug after you shut it off. if the insulator is white still, it is confirmed. if it is tan, its not running lean, and if its black, your bikes running rich. this is real easy to do so i would go ahead and do it. see the white thing on the inside? thats your insulator

i dont think so, you should be able to fit a wrench on your plug and pull it off right there. try to rev it to where it screws up too. riding would help alot, but this may do good luck
