He added some louder pipes for some reason.. and I think a fuel adjustment needs to be made to compensate for the new exhaust. He thought the bike would sell quicker if it was louder.
Anyways, we'll see how a couple more runs go. If I decide to keep it. the first thing to go is the seat and then I'm getting some new bars... make a ol streetfigheresque bike.

Sounds like a jetting problem to me... running way too lean. You describe them as very loud pipes.. probably performance or race pipes, obviously.
Pull the plugs after running it for a while. Check them against this chart. (takes a while to load on 56k.. )

If the jetting is off, you'll have to crack open the carbs!
