So I bought an x a couple weeks ago . Drove it 150 miles home and a couple days after , no problem .
Left it in the rain for a week until I smartened up and bought a cover . It has exhaust & hyper charger on it . Now , it won't idle without chocking it & it didn't need it before . When I put choke all the way in , it dies & pops at the end .
Could I just need to clean up the k&n filter & buy new plugs ?

Help new rider stuck

You will need to clean the plugs if you have been using the choke for more than a minute at a time.
You can also turn up the idle a little, there should be a knob hanging down behind the hyper.
Also check that vacuum line going to the butterfly's it tends to dry rot quickly.

I can tell you that the jetting if it is what came with the hyper is totally wrong and you wouldn't know since you just bought the bike.

My sig line has the link on how to properly tune the bike.

Changing the plugs , they were all black . Cleaned & re oiled the k&n air filter . Runs like a champ . I did notice that vacuum line needs to be replaced soon , it is cracking . it runs s little high probably from my frantic turning of the idle .
