    Vacuum Cap on Carb

    They're the tapered filters from MikesXS. I'm not opposed to trying UniPods though. I'm assuming I'll have to retune the carbs as well if I install Unis? Or should it be okay to just install and keep it moving? I'm not familiar with these carbs yet unfortunately, but so far they seem a little...

    Vacuum Cap on Carb

    Sweet, thanks! The ones I ordered come in the mail today so I'll see how they hold up. If not these will be the second option since they're so cheap!

    Vacuum Cap on Carb

    Vacuum Cap on Carb

    Hopefully it fixes the high idle. I put my finger on the port to create vacuum once I saw it and the idle stayed at around 2.5k, but hopefully that was just a fluke haha.

    Vacuum Cap on Carb

    I was riding yesterday morning and the bike was idling a little high randomly and started backfiring a little bit. Then I felt a blast of air on the inside of my thigh. Look down and see the vacuum cap missing on the part mounting cap of the carb on the LH side. I can only assume that it blew...
