My 02' has 2000 miles on it and is blowing black smoke out of the exhaust. The plug gits real black and sooty and the bike gets hard to start. If i take the plug out and clean it, it fires right up. Looking for suggestions on what to check.
Thanks

remove and check the air filter. might be plugged full of crap or a mouse nest. make shure the snorkel is clear as well. might have put some steel wool or something to keep the critters out in storage.
i think from what you are describing this should cure it.
