Bike warms up tried choking when it starts running rough doesn't change when warm pulled plug grounded out on motor spark is yellowish and poor
Leaning towards stator or cdi the stator we tried was brand new but pickup was bad on it

Check ground and clean. Check connections to your on/off switch and clean all connections. Make sure you have the right plug. Check static timing. Is your coil an old coil or a new coil? Kick harder and faster! LOL.
Kicks hard but will backfire when warm its 40 over should kick hard but bike was taken all apart and had new gaskets done on jug bike did run like crap before hand to
There shouldn't be any timing on there that can be screwed with could there thought stator just bolted on in one spot couldn't be moved around

normally when a cdi goes bad it just doesnt work or is affected by vibration. I dont know where they are mounted on an R but if its close to a heat source I suppose it ciuld affect it. but I have never really heard of on any machine

old trick is to heat suspect components with a
hairdryer one at a time when you KNOW it should run,
like before the whole machine warms up.
Compressed air can also cool components enough to duplicate
heat/cold related failures.
