So it begins. Roxy here is my first motorcycle and my first ever vehicle I plan on delving into beyond oil change so I'm diving in head first. Im going off of a few different people for reference but the overall goal is to lighten the bike and make it as understated and practical as possible. Color aside, Heavily influenced by StevG's Mexico Tracker http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=50779.0 Very new to motorcycles and mechanics so any tips/advice are greatly appreciated.

As she sits in my garage...Er I mean living room
I've got some Renthal Ultra low bars coming in the mail and I'm excited to kick things off, but I'm having some running issues as it is. The bike starts and idles happily, but the second you get above 20% throttle it misfires and refuses to rev. I've already taken apart the carb and cleaned it (multiple times) and cleared the clogged main jet (which I thought was the problem) and no change.
I have also reset the fuel mixture to factory settings and no avail. The stock airbox was replaced with a pod filter and both jets are a size larger than factory, but the previous owner rode 600 miles on that setup before this problem started. The spark plug would lead me to believe it's running rich, but even leaning out the floats and the mixture screw has changed nothing. The previous owner believes it's a CDI issue but I want to be certain it's not a mechanical issue before I drop $200 on a new OEM unit.
