Well took the bike out riding just now. fixed the pickup coil issue. Yes Greg both wires were messed up so they are fixed now. Then to top it off went for what I am going to refer to as ride #1:
#1: going down block everything fine turned corner all of a sudden bike jumped in RPM and wouldnt go down. Gave me the symptom that throttle stuck so I killed the bike checked throttle all clear no kinks. Started bike again and this time went straight to high RPM. So I got it home parked it unhooked fuel tank checked everything to make sure it is all ok. All is fine.
Ride #2:
#2: going down block all fine revving perfectly shifting is fine turns fine handles fine took a couple turns then go to hit the brakes (which btw before someone chimes in they were working perfectly on ride #1) and nothing. Very squishy on front so I pumped them and they worked then so I am suspecting I got air in there?! In all my years riding I killed the bike turned in to avoid car. All is good. Pulled into driveway and for some reason the clutch lever seemed frozen. Wouldnt get out of first at all. Turned off the bike moved the bike forward a little and all is fine.
Bike is now parked and sitting till I get the brakes fixed 100% so thank god I have tomorrow off.
My question is what caused the high RPM all of a sudden? Brake lines I suspect air so I will deal with that and what is up with the clutch all of a sudden freezing on me? Do I not have enough oil in it?
Feedback is really needed for this.
Thanks guys. Greg have fun with this one.

Is it absolutly the problem? No. But it needs to be done right first before you can further diagnose any issues.Leave a comment:

Mine usually takes about 10 minutes to get warmed up to where it idles up where it's supposed to.
The sync will make a lot of difference as well as getting the idle mixture right.Leave a comment:

OK good to remember. Also noticed that 3+4 are nice and hot right off the bat and 1+2 aren't so I'm going to guess that's syncing also. How long do they usually take to warm up?Leave a comment:

It will sputter a little until it gets fully warmed up. They are a little cold blooded. It will need to be fully warmed up to set the carbs too.Leave a comment:

OK so started it up this morning. Gave it some gas and when it revs it seems to sputter. Going to check the pick up coils after work and do the sync. Just doing an update.Leave a comment:

OK so got the carbs from Andreas and man am I thankful for him. Figured what the heck cleaned them up and went to go start it. Nothing. Greg I am now going to strip and clean the carbs. Thank god I listened to you. So today's project will be carb cleaning. I know I need to clean them cause I go to start and it acts like it wants to start by me turning the key and the starter going and all. I am going to hook back up the tank and see if fuel is getting into the fuel bowls and just go from there. Again thanks Andreas for the carbs.Leave a comment:

Up here they will cut it out while you are shopping at Walmart. Special interest is shown to big diesel trucks. They get a lot (150 bucks) from the re-cyclers for the Cat and you will pay 1600 bucks to replace it. I guess there are some kind of precious metals in there. Even had an incident up here where the guy phoned in ahead to make sure they had the cash. The re-cyclers phoned the cops and wow what a show. Smashed doors on their shop and a couple of police cruisers damaged. The dumb ass is out a newer F250 ford truck that he smashed up as well as facing many charges.Leave a comment:

I just find it ridiculous cause someone would go as low as stealing motorcycle parts and what not? I mean I have a good heart. I help out the homeless and would and have given my shirt off my back to people who are in need. If I ever catch who did this I'm going to make sure that they go to jail and have a really bad time cause to steal is just not cool. I mean they came to my property and stole stuff! That takes a really low person.Leave a comment:

They will crawl under your car and steal your catalytic converter around here.Leave a comment:

What else did they tear up getting them off the bike? If nothing, then it was someone who had some idea what they were doing.
That is amazing. Closest I ever come to such shananigans was years ago when someone stoll the battery out of my beater truck. Funny thing was they left behind a ball peen hammer (I still have and use the hammer) but broke absolutely nothing in the process. At the time my brother was having some "substance" issues, and I am certain to this day one of his friends came by and relieved me of the battery.Leave a comment:

Probably just some crack head who needed scrap metal stole them thinking he would get rich off the aluminium. Wish I could help but all my carbs are spoken for. I do have parts and spare bodies if that would help in any way.Leave a comment:
