It had low power. But then yes,of I try to get it going it shut stalls and shuts off at this point .I got the bike at like 9 thousand miles .now has like 13 and some change. I've never done any work on the Motor and have no idea of prior maintenanceI would say you either need a valve adjustment or the timing chain tensioner is not working properly.
How many miles?
Didn't get the "barely moving" part.
Well .after all that happened I checked the oil level thru the indicated spot seemed bone dry.so I drained it and maybe 3 4th of a quart came out .did a puke change and bike did it all over again .before the oil change it moved. After it moved. Then just stopped. So if I let off clutch it dies I've tried to isolate the sound using a long screwdriver method and honestly can't. It might seem like it's coming from the top end but it could just be tricking meIt's also possible the sound is from the clutch.
See if you can isolate the area where the sound is coming from. The clutch should be pretty obvious vs valvetrain. I think I do recall another thread with a similar problem that was clutch-related. Would make sense if it doesn't move.
I would also check the valves at some point.
EDIT: Oil level is good, and hasn't been run low?
What did the oil look like?Well .after all that happened I checked the oil level thru the indicated spot seemed bone dry.so I drained it and maybe 3 4th of a quart came out .did a puke change and bike did it all over again .before the oil change it moved.

Honestly, I didn't even think to check because as soon as I was draining the ouk my landlord pulled in lol .and oil was everywhere cause I didnt have an oil drain pan do I dumped the shit in the parking lot.i dont know .thing muggt be fucked at this point .I just didnt know these bikes burn thru oil.i did an oil change about 3 thousand miles ago on it and disnt even think to check the levelWhat did the oil look like?
Did you see any metallic pieces or bronze-colored flakes?
Doesn't sound too good at this point, unfortunately.
The sound seems like its comng from the top end .like the valves need delt with.I bet his cam chain jumped a tooth. My bike had a severe ticking sound and I replaced it with an APE manual chain tensioner. My tick went away. Jumping a tooth would explain the drop in power.
