    Mechanic for older bikes needed.

    Ok, let's talk...what needs to be done? Don't know...it runs, starts, I drive it every day, light and hard. But none is perfect...clunk here, sound there, pause in acceleration at 4500 rpm, like if it's taking an extra breath; low rpm struggle round 2200-2700.... Things like that. What do u say?
