Well I have a 1988 kawasaki en450a aka 454ltd, it has everything custom and moded, meaning carbs are jetted and freshly rebuilt, straight pipes with bolt on Harley 18in shark road swirl baffle pipes, pod filters tuned with a sock around the outside of them, fresh valve adjustment, completely rebuilt clutch, new "flywheel generator", new starter clutch and sprocket, factory stater (in fact there's some damage done to it from old flywheel losing magnets and bending one of the coils slightly into its neighboring coil), completely replaced all wiring with wiring harness off an 1990, replaced the igniter box and new coils as well, I've done so much to this bike it's hard to list it all. it's been running amazing to say the least, I mean I can pull a wheelie like nothing and I've lowered it almost 5 in, it's been an absolute dream and really really fun to ride, so I decided to go back with the factory style vacuums operated fuel petcock instead of the aftermarket non vacume type and I also replaced all the fuel lines and vacume line and took off the air read valve system and capped it off and now all of a sudden when it gets up to temp, not just warmed up, but up to temp it starts running on one cylinder and missing out and then ultimately it dies. I let it sit, cool down and it starts right back up and runs like a champ until it gets up to temp again.......I'm extremely disappointed because I've got a lot of blood sweat tears and $$ into this bad boy and I can't even go to the store to buy some smokes now without it going to crap!! Somebody please help me figure this out!!

Lots of variables there, the answer you don't want to hear is put everything back to the last known point of good running! Most owners with pods and pipe mods have to do a *lot* of trial and error to get it tuned up so your recent mods may have changed the carb vaccuum or air pressure enough to knock the previous jet and sock tuning out of spec. With the reed valves do you mean the bike previously had the full emissions kit and you've just removed it?
