What's happening here?

My bike is not running as well as it should. I noticed that the far left pipe is not hot after it is running for a while. Any ideas?

Thanks,

If it has spark... then chances are the carbs need cleaning.
Note the plural... for if one's bad, the other's aren't far behind it.
Could be a valve... do a compression check and check your valve clearances.

Look at the plug. It will tell you a lot.

BTW do you have inline filters on your bike?...if not I surely would install them, otherwise you may be in for repeated carb cleanings; a PITA.

That is affectionately referred to as, "carb hell."
