  • air leak? jumping idle when warm

    my idle on my 600 01 kat has been jumping when the bike gets warm. its runs and idles great when cold but once it warms the idle jumps around and will die when stopped if i dont give it some gas. is this from an air leak? i just cleaned the carbs and jets about a month ago.

      Runs good when cold but gets worse and it heats up = rich condition. Might need to close the a/f screws a tad. YOur choke isn't sticking on the slides anywhere?

          Sounds like you are developing an air leak when the bike gets hot. Check all of the airbox boots and also pay attention to the "o" ring seals on the manifold boots to the head. check your exhaust for leaks around the pipes in the head.
