Alrighty then! So I started the bike up again today and took it for a quick ride (no crashes this time). But now I'm left puzzling; my idle problem still isn't fixed. Here are the symptoms:


A) Is really hard to start. Takes about five or six crankings of the engine to actually get it to run.

B) The weather's warm, right? I still have to pop the choke on all the way to get it started. When it starts it revs REALLY high (scares the s**t out of me in the process).

C) I adjust the idle screw until the bike idles at about 1300-1500. Runs fine for the moment.

D) After actually riding for a little while the idles go WAY back up again to around 4000-5000, surges when I put the clutch on (yes, I'm letting off the throttle when I shift).

E) Adjust the idle screw again at a stand still, and the revs go back down again.

I'm thinking I just didn't clean the idle jets well enough. It's a big "no-no" but I'm thinkin' guitar strings in the jets, since the Seafoam didn't work.

Whaddyall geniuses think?
