Try replacing or cleaning the plugs. And make sure you're getting spark on all 4. (note* if you're check for spark by grounding the electrode against the engine, make sure the other 3 plugs are grounded aswell, preferably screwed into the head)
the plug on the 3rd head is loose, I brought it to a guy today. he hooked it back up and it sounded great. but its still loose so it cuts sometimes. I dont know if I should put some electrical tape on there to hole the tube in.

Just pull the tube out the boot at the plug and cut a 1/4 inch off of it. Push it back in the boot really good,reinstall & that should work.

Seems to me you're afraid to take off. :rofl: As you were taking off, I didn't really hear the engine like you were giving it some gas until the bike was actually pulling you from the stand still. Check the plugs, see if you're getting spark and work,work,work on your take off!!! :thumbsup: You may want to invest in a Haynes manual if you don't already have one. Check Ebay, they are about $30.

my bike will shut off if I give it to much gas, I have to be EXTRA careful with it.
i tryed giving it more gas when I was holding up traffic but it didnt help. I have to do it really slowly.

but the guy I brought my bike to said I almost had my clutch adjusted perfectly. im missing the spacer piece to my clutch handle though which the guy noticed, so I had him order me a new one for $8.

do you drain the radiator before you take it off? or do you just unbolt it and let it hang while you get the plug?

??? What spacer piece? :jawdrop: The piece that adjust the cable at the lever? I would like to see that piece when you get it installed.
