    by putting your hand over the filter you're restricting the air getting in as in....making the mixture richer...same effect as putting the choke on

    yes so up jetting could solve this

    is it bogging when you throttle or will it bog whilst idle? (if throttle how much throttle?)

    Its harsh but its more or less the truth.

    What mods has this bike got from standard, eg hav you changed jets / carb? who set it up and how? if you dont know find out. Will help people to help you.

    as minor said mate, its for the best. carry on running it like that youll be needing a new bore, piston etc soon. too many people with peds mess with them and have no idea what theyre doing o_O
