    Well, I have had this problem fro a couple months, and it needs to be fixed. At first I thought the bike needed to be warmed up, but that isn't the case because it is 80 now and the bike is plenty warm, and it still happens after driving 10-12 miles.

    It's like this, I take a fairly sharp right hand turn, straighten the bike up and it bogs down. It almost acts like it has no gas. I thought it might have been the clutch slipping but I don't know. Is it possible the carbs aren't getting enough gas? I have a shutoff valve along with a inline filter on them, could that be slowing the gas down enough in a turn to cause it to start sputtering?

    A cable that is tight and slacks-off to allow the return spring to close the throttles coming out of a stretched situation.
