Bob, intake leaks fixed, new intake manifold from JET (Johnson Engine technology) in RI. Problem seems to settled down since new intake. prior to this i'd ride some idle would increase, ride some more it would decrease. pipes are python. has been riding fine for some time, than all of sudden idle drops to 700 rpm and almost dies...so we replaced RAM JET intake manifold with new JET manifold. No intake leaks as of now, and idle rpm is holding steady after bike warms up. bike only has 7500 miles on her, came to me with branch heads, mikuni carb, crane inanition, ev 59 cam. she was dynoed at HD of Cartserville, ga. at 80 hp and 85 ft lbs of torque..with old intake manifold and they said too rich, so i installed smaller jet from .250 to .225..she is running fine outside of problem with idle. i'll ride it some more this weekend and see how she runs. JET folks in RI are really good on performance and gas mileage..i wish they were closer..i'd have them flo and blueprint my bike..i intend to keep this bike. I do have her twin for sale fxr2 arrest me red with 35k miles for 7500.00 and no riding issues. she has thundeheader pipes, stock carb, stock cam etc. call mde if interested 256-282-5023.
