    I have posted requests for help regarding my motorcycles idling issues. To all those that provided assistance and advice I thank you greatly!

    I have had to replace the coils, plug wires and boots, spark plugs, engine side in a take boots, air filter, rebuilt and thoroughly cleaned the carbs, and lastly wet set them. They were snyced with the YICS tool installed. Valves were checked and set too.

    I could get it to idle, but as soon as it was revved over 2500rpm it would race to 4-5000rpm and stay there. I pulled the carbs and checked everything over and reinstalled them, to no avail. Clunk tests and propane tests always passed.

    Finally I am now at the end of my witts and start trying things. First thing I try is to pull the YICS tool. It immediately raced when started, but I expected this. Reset idle and the problem was fixed. Runs perfectly and the idle always comes back down now.

    This bike was gotten for my girlfriend to learn on. She has been quite fired up about this as she got her license in June and the bike has been in the who all summer. She is likely more grateful to you all than I as she can now ride.

    Thanks to all once again!
