Help, bike runs like shiz!

this may seem like a dumb suggestion (sorry) but if it's been sitting, check the airbox to make sure some critter hasn't built a home for itself in there... I know you said you replaced the air filter at the beginning of the season but didn't say if you checked it again recently... at my last place of residence, I let the bike sit for 2 weeks once and had similar issues. Turns out a mouse had made a home in the snorkle to the airbox...
