    Could be a vacuum leak, bad plugs or poor fuel mixture.

    Thanks I have the same issue. Just bought an undermaintained '81 550r and it does the same thing. I've been running seafom in the gas to some avail.

    I'm going to look for a leak with the propane trick in the next evening or two.

    It already has new plugs and I hope the seafoam is working by cleaning the carbs and not just softening some rubber making it swell and stop leaking somewhat.

    I assume it's the same as when you spray starter fluid on your boots and see if the engine revs, if it does you have a leak.
