Looking for a good mechanic for my 2006 Suzuki DRZ 400 SM

I tried to post in my local page but don’t meet the requirements to make posts in there so I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to be posting this.

I just got done doing a tune up on my 2006 Suzuki DRZ 400 SM myself after it sat all winter and I foolishly left the bike full of fluids. Tore apart the carb, cleaned the gas tank, new battery etc. but when I got it all back together I had two issues.

  1. My throttle because super sticky — to the point where I have to manually push it back every time to let off. I put them back on the same spot on my carb and it seemed to give me issues even after playing with them by the throttle assembly and giving that a good clean and grease.

  2. The bike still does not seem happy when running. Before the tune up, it only ran with the choke on and now it will run with the choke off but I can’t seem to get the idle right. It also will occasionally spit when I give it full throttle.

Any ideas if this is an easy fix I’ve just overlooked or does anyone have a good mechanic they would recommend up north? Thank you!
