I used to have a filter, header, and exhaust on my 400 and just recently took it all off and sold the parts but for some reason the bike won't start unless I choke it, how come? Obviously I rejetted it back to stock and had the carb the exact same way it left the dealership. Also if I give it any little bit of gas it turns off, I have to let the bike idle and warm up for at least 5 mins before I can give it throttle. Ususally as soon as the bike turns on you can wait a sec and unchoke it but it turns off also. My buddies is stock and doesn't behave like mine at all,what could be causing this?
