Choke on 1st and 2nd gear

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: https://i.imgur.com/iLQioGT.png


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
