Hey everyone I've been having my bike for several and i have about 130 miles on it. Recently i had to lay it down and since then everything work ok except i was able to top off at 30 mph but not it will only go to 22 before it starts to fuel starve. can anyone tell me what the issue may be?:-||

I'd first check if the muffler hitting the ground knocked the head gasket loose.

Check the head nuts, make sure they're torqued properly. Take the carburetor apart, check for debris and make sure the jet isn't loose.

Double and triple check all mounting points as well, a loose mount will drop power drastically
