Latly when I ride for a little while 45-1hr.. and stop for a few, my bike has a little trouble getting started, seems like i really need to kick her hard to start her, and also when i first start up, takes about 4-5 kicks to turn over, think something could be wrong? Also the bike has been running a little rich, but i dont know if that from mixing gas, the bike was low on fuel, prob like 1/4 tank with 20:1 then I topped it off with 32:1 (which is the ratio im using now on)

Going from 20:1 to 32:1 shouldn't be a problem at all.

I don't know about your starting. I know that mine usually takes at least 4-5 kicks to get going first thing, but it usually starts up fine first kick after it gets warmed up.

Do you know your jetting information?

when you first starting are you choking or no?

the rough start after warm sound like your needle and seat. twake it out and use some rubbing compound on a q-tip.
