My engine, in rush hour bull***, worries me sometimes. Often it'll be
fine and then start getting finicky. Like it will start stalling in
1st or putting in 2nd. If i can catch some luck and get an open
stretch where i can get into 3rd or 4th, when i go back to stop-and-go
it'll be back to normal. I assume that means the engine doesn't like
low speeds, and i further assume that's because it builds up a lot of
heat just sitting there (it's air cooled, and if it's not moving, then
there's not much air, right?). Although i do have a radiator-looking
thing and a fan in front of the engine. I don't know. I'm a greenie,
what do you want?

Volusia 800's are not air cooled. That radiator-looking thingy *is* a
radiator.
Suzuki screws on plastic cooling fins to make the bike *appear* that
it's air cooled.
But even if it was air cooled there is no reason why it would run like
crap in first and second gears. Sounds like you should get that fixed.
