Ok, so I have had my bike running now for about a week. A few things are bothering me about it and I need some advice. First off, the bike will not idle to save it's life. It fluctuates so much from 1500-3000rpm and as i adjust the idle screw in and out it just seems to have a mind of its own. Secondly, the bike backfires non-stop at low rpm and decel. Third, in first gear I have had the bike lurch forward as I open the throttle up as well as have it hesitate some when I increase the throttle. The lurching forward and hesitation have only happened in first but I have not ridden the bike much yet as it isn't street legal yet =D I am hoping that the issues I am having are related. Slow jet possibly? And I have checked the valve lash which resulted in the intake valves being in spec and both exhaust valves were out but I have not re-adjusted them because I do not have a screw and lock not tool yet. Any help would be much appreciated.
