The bog is not normal, and neither is the spooge (oil dripping off the pipe or silencer) the bikes need to be jetted for your altitude and temperature. This will vary with the seasons, spring, summer, fall.
Once you get to know what the bike needs, you will probably only need to change the jetting two or three times a year. Depending on how fast the weather changes and at what temperature/elevation you ride. But you get faster and it's just part of owning a bike, you can consider it maintenance I suppose.
There is lot's of info available for you to read,I don't think I can explain it any better than it is in your clymer in the fuel section.
Read through it and let me know what you don't understand and I'm sure myself and the guys can help.
If you really need me to write up what your carb does and how it works I suppose I could try, but its all in there
and I think you can understand what is written. And There is always You-tube.
As far as the kickstand or stand goes, there are more options other than the $100.00 jobbers.
Next time your out and about look for some milk crates. Turn it upside down and I think your 85 should sit on it with the rear wheel off the ground so you can service it and she won't tip over.
The other alternative is to build a stand out of some 2x4's and a small piece of plywood for the top.
You could get fancy and put some wheels on the bottom so you can roll it around the garage.
There may also be some available on e-bay or craigs list.
The kickstands you can buy for the 85 are probably gonna cost about $100.00 the one style clamps on the swing arm and usually runs about $75.00 so when you add shipping and what not it ends up being $100.00
Pro moto billet might have a nice one but you'll be looking at $125.00
The decals are probably $65. to $125 a set also...
