I am having a problem with the new bike. When I try to take off the bike dies unless you give the bike a ton of gas and let the clutch out really slow. One it takes off it has power and runs great but I'm stumped the clutch isn't slipping but is kind of hard to pull. I don't think it needs to be replaced but what can I do to fix it's take offs. When I nail it off the start it spins the tire a little then boggs and dies. I can't figure out what's wrong.

I have already went through the carb. And it didn't make a difference I soaked it over night and went through it. It's really clean.

Starts easy cold or warm?

Compressed air blown through all the passages on the carb?

Starts easy cold and a little harder when warm.

The pipe and silencer will need to be cleaned and the silencer re packed.
If the carb is 100% clean and the airfilter fresh I would look towards replacing the reeds.

same old approach. leaves off any mention of how the spark plug looks. no mention of how long the problem existed.

Throw it in the trash

And doesn't come back, and leaves everybody hanging.

It has done this since I bought it. Here is a picture of the plug. I'm running it 32:1 and I am going to mess with the jetting.

Plug is a little black.

running too rich. you may have a leaky float seat and needle if you have set the float properly. jetting could be too rich but if it is close to stock i dont think that alone will made it act like you stated.

Don't bother.
Mix your gas 20:1 and I bet it stops.
Why? Because that's the correct oil to gas ratio for that bike.

I wonder if that little bit of information would be in the manual.
