sluggish grizzly 700

hello everyone! im new here and this is my first post.
i have a 2011 700 grizzly with 26"itp bajacross and 14" wheels.

i have noticed it seemed kind of sluggish since i bought it. so i cleaned my clutches then greased weights/sliders and replaced the belt.
the valves where checked by the dealer last fall and i was told they where in spec.
new plug
new oil
i added a no-toil filter

after cleaning the clutches i had it up on the stand checking to make sure everything moved smoothly.
it seems to be fine if i roll onto the throttle but if i hammer it the engine seems like it misses or lags.
i don’t know if it is related but after the engine warms up i can hear a ticking that sounds like its coming from the left side. also when warm it tends to back fire after coasting and getting back on the throttle

any input would be great! thanks!
