Rising idle. You may have your idle adjusted, but notice after riding for a while that it climbs.

Your engine will run hot also, due to a lean air/fuel mixture.

[barnbiketom]

depending on how bad they actually are, they could cause most every issue from a no start/hard start to fluctuating idle to holed pistons and everything in between!!

The fact of the matter is that if they are bad they need to be replaced. A lean condition will be created which could do many bad things to your engine ($$).

The same symptoms can also be caused by intake boots starting to separate.
