bike acting funny

ok, so i found out what was wrong with the bike.  one of the hoses was bent, and my carbs were not getting feul   :o    i feel like a moron, 'cuz i could have easily fixed the problem without taking apart my entire bike.  needless to say, i did anyway.  i adjusted my fuel/air  screww to 2 1/2 turns out, but my bike is still acting a little weird.  it doesn't seem to stick at higher rpm's as much as it used to, and for awhile it was riding great.  but it still rev's a little high, and for some reason it just stalled out on me, and i had to let it sit for awhile before it would start again.  the only performance mod i have is a k$n air filter.  not the pod, the one that just replaces the stock filter.  do you guys think that i'm still running a little lean??

Dunno, probably not, but do you already have the size 40 non-bleeder type pilot jets?
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

no i haven't got the 40 pilots or 127.5 mains, i think i need.  i've been having some trouble finding a place in chicago that will sell them to me.  i actually got the bike riding again, turned out a vaccuum hose came loose somehow.  i have to go to home depot and get a clamp for it.  my revs still seem to hang high though.  also, i was wondering about the jetting screws.  they don't start out at the same position, so when i turned each one out 2 1/2 turns, they obviously didn't end in the same position.  now, though, the bike seems to "pop" a little.  like it just burned up a pocket of fuel??

I got my 40 non-bleed pilots from BikeBandit.com.  Resonably priced but I think they may be a little backed with orders up this spring.  Only problem is they send 4 jets.  If I can find my extras, I am sure we can figure out a price.  Let me know if you are interested.

It is easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
