Recently cleaned the carbs, adjusted the valves, and maybe fixed my air intake. I did not do any adjustments to the floats, although I may not have put the pilot air screws back where they were before I took everything apart. Anyway, she runs 110% better than before, but I just can't seem to get the idle set properly.
If I remember from all the manuals I've looked at, once the bike is warm, it's supposed to idle at around 1500. So when I set the idle when she's warm to that range, when she's cold she dies way too easily. When I adjust to prevent that, she idles just above 2k when she's warm. I'm not sure if this is something I should be concerned about, or how to go about tracking down the problem.
Thanks!
