    Sometimes stalls after I blip the throttle

    I'm about to embark on some maintenance that requires carb removal (valve seals) so I'm going to deal with this minor issue at the same time. When the bike is warmed up and I give the throttle a quick blip the throttle response is good, but the RPMs will then drop well below 1100 and it will sometimes stall. I can start it right back up again without issue. If I pull in the clutch while riding the RPM's will drop to 1100 or so and idle nicely. It's just when I blip the throttle that I experience this problem. Thoughts?

    Cheers!

    Here's a thought. Don't blip the throttle.

      Doctor, it hurts when I do this...

      Bogs when hot with a little throttle kind of suggests that you might still be running a bit rich. Has anything changed since you colourtuned your carbs and fixed your hanging idle?

        sounds like you have the anti Harley wrist, safety engine kill module. its to save you from looking like a tool when you pull into the coffee shop.

        Just kidding, I have nothing useful to add....

          Well, I have a smokey exhaust at startup due to (most likely) bad valve seals. Hence the upcoming maintenance. Other than that, no changes.
