Alright, so I'm pretty new to the world of xs twins but i've been learning alot. My bike has been running decent but has recently started acting up...to my knowledge the bike is mostly stock. I synced the carbs as best I could with the old glass bottle method. It will idle fairly well at the standard 1200 rpm but it will then start to stutter and eventually die. If I turn the idle screw up it then starts to pop out of one side. Also because it is the bs34 "lean machine" carb setup, the idle is very slow to fall...wondering if I could do with a bigger pilot jet. I already removed the plugs and turn the mixture screw out...and that helped...but i'm still not where I wanna be. Any suggestions?
