It might do it in other gears too but I have really noticed it when I'm cruising at around 55-60 mph in 5th, that the bike would bog a little and then when I pull the clutch in, the bike will just rev up for a few. It will eventually go back to normal with in a few minutes or if I put a load on. The throttle doesn't seem to be sticking. I put hands on the throttle on the carb and its closed all the way.
Here's a little background on the bike. It's an '02 with under 3500 miles on it. It sat for about 6 years before I bought it. I rebuilt the carb and was able to get it started. I also rebuild the petcock, replaced the chain, and brand new air filter. The exhaust smells a little rich so I am assuming I need to adjust the pilot screw. I just ordered a new plug for it so when that comes in, I'll adjust it.
Is there anything else you think I should take a look at? I mean I have been able to ride it to and from work almost daily. About 50 miles round. And the smelly exhaust and revving up with the clutch in seems to be the only issues.
