Sounds like it may be drawing air around the intake somewhere. Let it idle and spray around carefully with wd-40 until it speeds up. This will reveal the leak.

Howdy: Front, jack stand, pull calibers with brake hose connected and set aside. Unbolt axle clamps each side. You home free. For the rear,
juck stand, loosen rear axle nut. Pull calibers, set aside. Need to wiggle
tire backward so the driveshaft pulls out. thats about it. Puttin the front and rear back on you will need help for alignment. Goog luck - Doug
SOURCE: every how many miles do I change the oil on a
3000 to 5000 miles is the range. 3000 miles city driving or up to 5000 miles touring miles. Some people change yearly or at 2000 miles. That is probably excessive and wasteful (of money and oil). Typically if you drive your motorcycle a lot, you will sense when it is running louder and with more vibration. That is how the motorcycle tells you that it wants an oil change.
You can use
any oil that is JASO MA certified motorcycle oil. 10w-40 for cold
climate. 20w-50 for warm climate/touring. Car oils use different
additives and may cause scoring in certain types of cam bearings. Do not
use any oil that says " Energy Conserving " on the label .
It will shorten the life of your wet clutch and transmission gears. If
you choose Synthetic oils, they will help your bike run cooler and shift
easier. Shell Rotella T and Rotella T Synthetic 15w-40 are inexpensive
JASO MA oils. You will need 4 quarts of oil, an aluminum drain plug
washer, and a filter. Pour in 3.3 quarts , run the motor, and check the
oil level . Top up as needed.
