Answer
In order 4 me to answer your question u r going to have to type correctly and b as specific as possible.  Is it fuel inj. or carbed?  It ran rich and this caused u to take the measures of a new filter, plugs, needle adjustments?  If so, these r huge mistakes to do for a rich condition.  These actions only need taken if modifications caused the rich condition.  A stock bike running lean has a problem, not a performance issue.  Let me know.
