Bike was still idling low after new air filter and oil change. It’s been quite a few miles since my last spark plug change. Decided to use the iridium plugs. Supposed to get 60-100,000 miles before they need to be changed :)

Oil change time 1637 miles later. Noted the oil was brown and frothy. Going to start changing oil every 1,500 miles instead of every 2,000. Don’t want my bike working harder than it has to work.

Bike was idling low on cold starts. Changed filter and it improved a little on startup. More zip in general thanks to a clean filter haha! Still not right. Thinking oil change.

Ignition Coil Swap Bike was turning over and idle rough and low rpm. 1000rpm. Checked online and found it could be ignition coils and linked fuel line. Checked fuel line. Upgraded hose already done so not kinked. Removed cylinder 1,4 ignition coils and swapped. Connected all and started bike. Much better and back to normal with sound and cold start rpm range 1300-1500rpm ;) well, that didn’t last long haha. Maybe air filter or oil change? Will look into it next.
