    any ideas on why engine starts to falter, revs do not pick up when pulling off.this only happens now and again when engine is hot.carbs are synched and bike runs great.

    Sounds like your engine is running lean when cold. Try to run and let warm up good while you put your helmet on and such. I always run the first few blocks with my choke on just alttle bit (about even with the horn button) for a few city blocks. Turn it off and away I go.
