    follow up question to what i thought i had solved

    i recently thought that i had solved my weird idle problem but it is back. i have checked to see if there are any air leaks with carb cleaner but there are none. just replaced the airbox boots and they are snug, also just rplace my intake boot orings. im at a loss as to what is making it stay reved up when im coming to a stop. if i let out on the clutch a bit it will slow the rev down only to have it go back up. only seems to do it once the bike is completley warmed up. at first i thought re-routing my throttle cable had fixed the problem but i guess not.
    I didnt do it I swear !!

    Just my opinion, not based on any facts. have you tried to richen up the pilot screws 1/4 turn at a time?

      How does the bike run otherwise ? Could be you just need to turn the master idle knob (the brass one) counterclockwise to close the throttle plates some.

        the bike runs pretty good otherwise. has a little bit of a lurching affect when your cruising at a steady speed. ive tried richening it but no luck. i'll try the idle knob to see if this helps.

          I don't know if I can help, but post some good pictures of the spark plugs. It sounds like it might be running a little lean on the needles.
