haha let me tell you about my replica carb woes. couldnt idle the bike at all for the last two days but it runs fine all else. i took the carb off the bike, put the slide back in and fired it up tonight. runs perfect

WTF!
how much did the carb rep cost? i think $135 on a genuine is money well spent. at least people will help you tune it.
and yay for me, just waiting for my BZM calibrated carb to come. which bike shall it go on.. hmm
