Lol. Didn't think I did shortcut. Thought I was being thorough. :dry: I guess you don't know what you don't know.
Not knowing what you don't know is the first stage of learning something new
I am going through that now, haha

I'm in the road. Insured, registered.
Trying to get the bike to idle consistently. Seems I'm constantly readjusting the idle knob under the carbs and fiddling with the choke. Wants to idle with different settings after cold start and when at a stop. For instance, after idling after cold start at 1100rpm, I drive for a bit and when I stop she's idling at 1800rpm or more. Any suggestions?

Made some diy restrictors for my carb sync bottle guages. Haven't tested them yet. Put this bike up for sale. I'll work on it until it sells.
One other thing, I can't figure out why the bike pulls right when I apply the rear brake. Where's my issue? Thanks again guys
