[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1257852, member: 17212"] Your uneven idle can by adjusted with the fuel screw at the bottom of the carb. Make sure the bike is warmed up all of the way before adjusting the fuel screw. They don't like to idle when cold. Usually, the fuel screw will wind up somewhere around 1 1/2 to 2 turns out from the seated position. I also agree with running the fuel out of the carb before putting the bike in storage. If you just drain the floatbowl, fuel will remain in the jets and will eventually turn to lacquer and clog the jets. If you turn the gas off and run the engine until it runs out of gas, there will be no gas left in the jets to go bad. When putting the bike away for the winter, it's best IMO to drain the gas tank, drain the float bowl and blow compressed air into the bottom of the float bowl to dry out the jets. If you don't have compressed air, just run the bike at a low speed until it runs out of gas. It is a real bear to remove the carb from your bike. The electric starter motor takes up much of the room needed under the float bowl to access the float bowl and you have to remove the sub-frame or swing it up to remove the carb. Just my $ .02 [/QUOTE]
