Well, that's not saying much - every offroad bike needs a carb cleaning!

They also tend to come from the factory with a poor tune. Fortunately the actual jetting is usually close and you can adjust the needle. If you get one of these second hand the first thing to do is pull the plug. Most likely it will be black and sooty, as a bike will usually run rich, so that's easiest - drop it down one notch and try again.
