Ok, so I have had the wing long enough to start assessing beyond what I observed during my test drive. Its an '80 gl1100.
I read the string on the clatter at start, and how that might mean the carbs need to be balanced. I think I could benefit from that as well.
One question I have, that is partially related, is what the proper idle rpm should be. My book says to balance the carbs at around 950, but I think my bike wants to idle best around 1600 (that seems too high to me).
I didnt see anything in the book about proper idle rpm... So here I am with y'all.
