Hi - I just cleaned my carbs for the 3rd time to try and get my bike to idle beautifully. I reassembled it - did the bench synch and took it for a ride so I could set the idle and actually synch the carbs. The bike ran amazing, the most smooth my throttle has ever been at all ranges. Didn't really idle since I basically brought the adjuster all the way out after I bench synched it. Got home, parked her in the garage turned it on and dialed the idle up a bit. It purred at 1500 rpm for about a minute with barely a waver. So damn excited I wanted to take her out, carb synch be damned, and took off down the alley. Blip the throttle and she sits at 3k and wont come down. down the street I rev it and it slowly slowly slowly falls back to about 2k. Aimed for a hiway to fix it with High rpms and found that if I give it some manly throttle 8-9k a few times the revs come back down like they should. Only once or twice then it goes back to hanging up. I went home to synch the carbs (maybe that was my problem) but the pig wont even idle at 2k any more.
TLR It idles well, when I rev it falls slowly (most the time but not always). stays at 2200 rpm for a while - then drops to normal idle. Didn't have this problem till I gave the idle adjuster about 1.5 turns (started at zero)
Please tell me to clean the carbs, I so want to do it a 4th time this week
