Hey all
My bike started to run badly around a week ago. Engine would shut off when leaving a stop light and there was a noticeable choke on second gear change (not enough to kill the engine). I didnt change anything in the last months (same gas, same settings, etc).
What I tried so far:
- clean the filters (stage1+2)
- change gas supplier, and tried both 95 and 99
- lower kevmod from 6 to 4 and 2
- made sure idle is at 1500
Setting it to 2 seems to have made the issues less obvious, still chokes on 2nd but just a bit, engine dies but less often.
I've also taken the sparkplug out today, I might need to change it, but it doesnt seem that bad. How does it look:

White residuu might be from running yesterday for an hour on setting 2 on kevmod, before that it has always ran on 6 and it was ok.
Im not entirely sure but it seems these issues started to arise with temps going up (30C now, it was 20 a week or so ago).
I also feel the gearbox a little funny. Sometimes it gets stuck in neutral and Ive found no solution other than to mash the lever harder. Changing gears also feels a bit weird, might be feeling a little drag or extra frictions, dont know how to describe it.
Any idea on what to look for?
Thank you
