IMHO bikes like a fresh battery. Again you said..
"Perfect maintenance has always been kept on this bike."

If you didn't get a good battery, locktite every bolt and redo your engine mounts and had a bad experience I understand. I urge you to do them now, and get a rectifier/regulator. Proper riding gear, oiled chain, fresh oil and plugs, new fuel filter, clean out the carb as well. I can't promise anything but you might start feeling a little better about your bike.
Well besides the battery in the last three days it has had perfect maintenance, and thats only because I haven't been able to afford it and the bike currently has been my only transportation. I also didn't realize that the battery being bad could have adverse affects on the bike running.

I will put a new fuel filter on and I already had a new larger jet coming to go along with my new k&n filter so the carb will get completely cleaned out. Hopefuly that will solve all my problems.

As for all the bolts, I haven't had a problem with loose nuts or bolts anywhere on the bike. And oil and plug have always been done regularly.

Thanks for the help everyone. Will keep you updated...
