Background: 2001 Katana 600 with 11,400 miles. Carb problems back in August (back when I thought PRI stood for primary, not prime 
). Could not spend the money on rebuilt carbs until late-October. Got the bike back in November. Warmed it up a few times and road up/down the gravel road in front of property. Finally put the plastic back on it today. Warmed it up and got on the highway. Current "higher-than-I-remember idle" of 1400 rpm was about 1600 after riding down the highway. Got it up to around 90 for a couple miles, but did not go any faster due to a few separate issues. Seems there there is a little miss or hiccup over 8,000 rpm. I have been running regular unleaded since repaired and petcock set to ON. Do I ride a couple more times since it has not been ridden much lately or is there most likely a problem?
