  ok not a mechanic but try to help you with this till Troll or one of the smart lads show up.......
how old is the fuel in the bike? in the carb?
If the air filter is dirty it will not hurt to change it or at least clean it.
I would run a bit of Seafoam through the fuel lines and see if that helps.

I just recently bought a 2003 Drifter 800. It ran good when I got it. We changed the oil, filter and plugs top off coolant. Now I rode it bout 15 miles it was fine. Parked it for about 3 hours got on it to come home it wouldn't idle it popped and cracked backfired and missing really bad. When I would go up a hill I had problems get up it. So when I finally got home we checked the new plugs and they we're sutt black. So that means it's running rich. What do I do? The Ir filter is dirty. Do u think if I change air filter it will clear up or is it something else?
