runs like poo

[catbed]

just did another compression test with the oil in the cylinder and no change. i dont think i installed my real gasket correctly because it looks like its squished out a bit and it leaks oil in the front. no change in running though, even with the airbox.

Dude, I don't have the faintest idea what's wrong with your bike but when I read the title of your thread...........

it doesnt run like poo now, but still pretty bad. i think the problem is the carbs. i need to get a colortune or something similar so i can get it right, then balance the carbs. i got it to run off of choke for a little bit but that was only after running for a decent chunk of time. the idle is still irregular and sometimes i have to blip the throttle constantly to keep it running.

ordered a new real gasket because i over torqued it. instead of 15 inch-pounds, i torqued it to 6.5 ft-lbs, like the manual said. a little help from the trusty GSR and i found out that 6.5 ft-lbs is for the paper gasket. oops. cant wait to start riding this thing though!

I'm not understanding the GAP in the front of the head???

it was just a shadow of one of the layers of steel hanging over the other. nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't judge the bike until you run it at least fifty miles to let things seat. Then I'd do a carb sync.
Also change the oil and filter after 50 miles.
Retourque the head after around 500 miles.
