when my bike is on its centerstand with the back tire on the ground my idle goes up when the front tire goes down my idle drops till it almost dies ? im about ready to send these carbs off for a rebuild/tune 

float height?

+1 float height was my first thought.  Can't think of anything else.

Stop riding your bike with the centerstand down?.. 


o.O - Bob!

Not float height, it is choke cable tension. As your handlebars turn, it pulls the cable and changes the mixture. My bike does it all the time, but my bike doesn't have a steering stop, so when I park it, the bars turn further than they were ever designed to. When I'm trying to park in my usual really really tight parking spot, I actually have to get on the gas a bit to keep the bike from stalling out because I turn the bars all the way until my hand is touching the tank. Not having a steering stop is handy for really tight parking situations, but kind of annoying any other time. If your bike still has the steering stop intact, you just need to adjust your choke cable to be a bit looser...

where did he say turning bars left and right all i see is on center stand if rear tires is on the ground idles is high when front tire is on the ground almost dies.

You gotta read between the lines Josh.  When the front wheel is off the ground it will turn as there is only one disc and caliper.  This turns the bars to the right, pulling the choke cable if it has not enough slack or is routed incorrectly.

Then again, if you want to instantly blame carbs for everything like many of you do, go ahead.  Yes, carbs are something that require some attention if the bike's been ridden a lot, neglected, or engine flow is deliberately increased, but there are weaker and simpler pieces to the puzzle that should be looked at first, not last.

I think Fred is right yet again.

ok bill your the only one that knows about bikes.   with the information giving i give what i would do first there was no mention of the f^cking bars turning whiel the wheel is off the ground so go f&ck yourself    im getting sick of your bike being the best here and what you do to it is what everyone else should do to there bike as well have a great day.

Shouldnt someone actually ASK the OP if the speed increases as the front end moves and get the big picture before making assumptions and jumping to ANY conclusions.?? .........or am I just thinking too hard??
