Also check that the choke plungers are both going in all the way when you push it in. And if it's a california model try looking at the evaporitive loss (emissions) system. Thats what was causing mine to foul, tho on BOTH cyliners. Not sure if it could affect only one, but there is a hose coming from the carb balance tube that goes to a valve on the Ca models. The valve apparently wasn't opening all the way causing the floats bowls to fill higher than normal, and when i removed the hose and replaced it with one that just hangs down below the engine the problem seems to have ceased and the bike is running noticably stronger. seems that would always affect both sides, but you never know.....and it could be some other problem with the EVAP. Of course if it doesn't have the evap system the point is moot. But having been in a movie i would think chances are good it's a california bike. and even some other states have been known to sell bikes equipped with the EVAP, which i'm beginning to believe may be more problematic than anyone has realized and may be the cause of a lot of fuel problems. Try the hose trick i mentioned and cap off the carb and manifold nipples and see how it does if it has the EVAP crap.
