DOHC 750f Sluggish

txnnd
My bike was running great, then it sat for 3 weeks. After a hard start, it won't idle, and is super sluggish. I can make it idle with the choke, but it is still really sluggish. I run seafoam every other tank, and pretty much everything has been rebuilt. As I said, it's always ran great, so not sure how just sitting a few weeks could change that.

Well I solved my own problem.  After hearing Tools always talking about vacuum leaks, I came home and snugged up all of the carb boots, and she's back to running like a scalded dog.  Not sure how this was an issue from just sitting, but luckily it worked.

Glad it was an easy fix. The carb boots must have dried out while sitting.
