I installed the K&N Pods, Toomey T5s, TORS Removal, and put in 300 mains. New plugs too.
(Sea level.)
1. It will not idle. (I tried every variation w/ the idle air screw.) You probably need 27.5 pilots.
2. The slides stick. (What can I grease them with?) Did you deburr the holes you drilled in the carbs? You need to do this! NO GREASE!
3. The throttle cable supplied with the TORS kit is to tight. (Might be why #2 is happening.) Too tight? Never had this problem. Try rerouting the cable?
4. The bike is running really, really hot. (Coolant is getting flushed tomorrow.) Is it lean? Did you check for an air leak?
5. The pipes began smoking. (Because of the paint? Toyboxx will have to let us know about this part.) Painted pipes will smoke the first time after painting, or the pipes are really hot because of a lean condition.
Hope this helps!
