According to the tach I'm at 900rpms. That being said, it does it all the time warm or cold. It is not affecting how she runs, just the inital idle when coming to a stop.Go figure.

Re:Need Advise from carb guru 5 Years ago  
Lion, first off welcome to the forum. Yes, some are getting better gas mileage through rejetting. But my personal experience has taught me that a rejet on the stock roadstar airbox is (can be) "eventful". If all you are doing is changing the exhaust, try that first and see how it runs, and check your mpgs. An exhaust change alone will probably boost gas mileage. Start small and move up from there.

Please don't think I'm rude, but its bedtime for me as I am an eastcoaster (after midnight here). Others Will help you with questions regarding your bike.BB

I have a question for those in the know. Yes , about carb stuff. I am happy with how mine runs, and my mpg's. But I have noticed that when I stop (redlights/stopsigns), for about 3 or so seconds I have a "heavy" idle, then it drops back into its regular "sound". Normal? Now if I've been riding allout, then come to a stop("what was that officer?&quot, it will sound normal 8 time out of 10.
Refresher: BAK, stock pilot, 170 main, PMS at 3 out. AIS off, R/H 2/1, ported manifold. If this is a "normal" characteristic, then great, if not, I'm all about the final "tweeking" to get optimal performance (and sound). Whose first?BB


Sounds like something is 'sticking'. Musky suggested to lube the cable; that's a good place to start.

You could also pull the slide out and clean the sides ot it. Sometimes carbon or dirt gets built up on the slide and it sticks a bit in the bore.

Well after a couple of days of riding with the new jet settrings I can positively say that it runs a lot better-

When you finally remember to tighten up the clamp on the BAK boot.

So did you try &quot;167.5 main, 3rd groove w/ 2 washers, and went to a hair under 2 on the PMS&quot;?

Yup. Haven't got enough riding in to get any kind of mileage reading but the response to the throttle is a real smile maker. Haven't done the WOT either but getting on it and banging through the gears causes no problems at all.
