Hello
So I wanted to get some advice before I try to fix this myself and most likely make things worse.
I just replaced my head pipes with the exact same system I had, which is the 17" reverse cone mufflers with stock head pipes cut down about 6".
The old head pipes were 38mm and I replaced them with 34mm. I also replaced the rear turn signals and added a ground to the front turn signals, let the bike sit for 2 weeks and today took it out for a spin. After about 5 or 6 kicks it started and was idling fine, about 3km into the ride I gave it a little to pass a parking car and now it wont idle at all, starts but wont idle, I had to keep the rpms up with the throttle to get it back home.
I'm running Mikuni TM34 flat slides with 25 pilot jets (I think)
Any advice where I should check first to figure out the issue?
The battery is at 15v and is less than 6 months old.
I've attached some photos and a link to a video while I keep it at 900 - 100 rpm with the throttle.
