      You mean clean like this?

      And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
      Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

            YES! Clean like that. But I wouldnt say every one would keep there engine that clean and thats a shame.Haveing a clean engine takes time and patience and very few people will take the time to that.Thats why I get up early on saturday.In a couple of hours your ready to ride and everybody looks. All some guys want to do is ride.I hate seeing a dirty engine no mater what it is ,bike,car,boat etc. My idle does not change no matter how long or hard I ride.I guess I got everything set just right.Most thanks to Keith!

              would loose air-filter boots cause a similar problem?

                Likely not, but possible. An air leak has much more effect on mixture between the carbs and the engine, versus the airbox to the carbs.

                BTW, my pipes tick quite a bit when I shut the bike off. The engine is clean, the mixture is good and all that. I am sure it is normal, but the engine shouldn't tick when cooling.

                  Not trying to "improve" on Jethro's reply, but a leak between the carbs and airbox won't make the rpm's rise. Only a leak on the engine side of the carbs will do that.

                    Thanks

                    Thanks everyone for the great advise. I have to say ive learned alot from this site. Keep it up. I tried to take the intake boots off today but no luck. Those dang philips head screws wont budge. Ill have to get the right tools. I want to check the orings and possibly buy new boots if needed. I did get my tach cable installed and i have the idle set at about 1000 and after riding it gets up to about 2500 or more. so im still working on it. But again thanks for everything.. Brandy

                      There is a side cover on e-bay that would fit your bike,Also i had to use vise grips on the phillips head screws to get them off of a couple of boots.Once you get one off you can turn the boot to free up the other one.

                        Me too, I had a simialr prob, and checked the screws on the boots -engine to carb- and all were easily tightened. Number four had some gunk around the bottom of the boot -engine side- . Now she idles around 1100-1200 even when "hot".
                        Thanks O'gurus of the GS!
