    Hey Guys,
    Been having a small idle problem since I did my carb job. Before the stripdown the idle was perfect at around 1200 rpm or so. Now the idle drops down to 1000 or so and starts to stall. (I didn't adjust anything whilst cleaning.)
    What is the easiest way to adjust the idle, could I adjust the throtle or should I adjust the mixture screws?
    Any help would be great :) .
    Cheers Mac.

    After you cleaned carbs did you rebench synch them? Did you synch them after you installed on bike? I think anytime you remove & clean carbs you will need to rebench synch & synch on bike. Just a couple of thoughts.

    Sorry, missed the part about adjust idle, mix screws. I would synch first then adjust idle after.
