the new chain i mentioned, which i do have, just didnt have parts to do it myself. it asks for a few parts of the bike to be checked, like the carbs and such, but that was done around 22,000 miles.
the bike was having problems keeping power, so i took it in the get checked. i thought it was bad battery, that it couldnt hold a charge. well the shop checked everything and recalibrated and cleaned carbs. turned out it was a bad battery >_>.
edit: battery was replaced
