My idle dropped down to 1k after kleen mod and bike requires choke to start. Ran fine prior and only other mods are snorkel and 2 shims. According to the previous replies, it sounds like I'm running rich. Everything is connected or capped correctly. I can only assume that my bike was originally set-up optimally at the factory and I may have already been running rich with the 2 shims prior and some how compounded the situation by restricting air that was going into the crankcase. Is this possible?

I did not have any issues before shimming. Just assumed it didn't hurt since I did the snorkel and 250s are notorious for being lean. Haven't had time to tear her down again but prefer not to re-install kleen so suggestions would be appreciated.
