ninjette.org - View Single Post - Slow throttle response and slow return to idle help

I sprayed some carb cleaner on the boots between the carbs and the head and the rpm remained steady. So I guess there's no holes there and I will go with cleaning the carbs again this week.

I also forgot to mention that it takes a while to warm the bike up, or maybe it's just me. It needs full choke to start but it can be decreased completely thereafter. For about 15 mins, a small twist of the throttle turns the bike off. It takes a while longer before twisting throttle actually slowly increases the rpm and than back to the slow return to idle.

I also noticed that with the idle adjustment screw fully tightened to the highest idle setting, the bike idles at about 1.2k rpm, which I know isn't normal.

Any suggestions?
