would leaking gaskets on the header cause a bike to bog on takeoff?

No but letting the clutch out to fast and or not giving enough throttle will. Lol not tryin to be a smartass at all. Anymore details? Is your bike stock? What exactly do you mean by bogging? Like tryin to take off really fast and it boggs? A big part is stok gear 1st will go about 100mph. That right there will make your bike nigh pretty bad off the line unless you slip the hell out of your clutch..

its a 04 supercharged, i have a full akra system ran it with and withought the muffler and had loads of torque it was difficult to keep from spinning the tire when cold,then i choped it straightpipe and it ran like crap,you have to ease into it to get going or it dies out, but then it runs like a champ once going. I welded the exhaust back on but it still runs like that.
