bubbling gas...

Is your bike sitting in the sun and getting the gas tank hot? The bubbling sounds like the fuel is getting hot and the light ends are boiling off, changing spark plugs will not stop a fuel problem.
You might try a different brand of gas. Keep your bike out of the sun. One more thing make sure your gas cap is venting, I haven't ran across one that doesn't yet, most will leak fuel out of the cap.
If you are using gas with the alcohol in it you might need to see if you can get gas with out the alcohol premium gas should not contain the alcohol but in these days and times its going to be harder and harder to find good fuel that had no alcohol.

I make and use a real short intake on a couple of my bikes and have not had the problem your having I live in the panhandle of texas and the days are screaming hot here not as hot a AZ. but very warm.
what causes that?...i changed things around...i'll see in the morning...thank you...Dennis
well went for a ride this morning...put my deul exhaust on, cleaned up the long straight intake, changed the needle to the third notch....and it runs beautiful...no bubbles...intake stays fairly cool...deul exhaust sounds great...thanks for the help...Dennis
