I generally let my bike warm up for for at least five minutes before taking off in the morning. During the past week, my bike has started "bucking" severely for the first half mile or so. The power cuts in and out, it feels really bogged down and it backfires repeatedly in rapid succession. It seems to work it's way out after a few minutes, but it's kind of disturbing. What's going on? Contaminated gas? Water in the carb bowl?(I'll drain it tonight) Flooding? Condensation? Just put in a new plug and air filter, so it seems like it's got to be fuel related. (Air+fire+fuel=GO)
