Default

Also temporarily seal the overrun valve intakes in the front of both air filter boxes to check that they are not the leaky bit.

I had a fair amount of air coming throug the crankcase vent valve connected on front of LH airbox. Blocking that lowered my RPM 150-200 (warm). I modified it by preloading the spring a bit more, that was the final thing that made my RPM settle correctly.

Hello Leo, I also have high revolutions when cold (1200) and when hot, close to 1000. I observed that the crankcase breather valve (PCV) allows air to pass at idle. It's right? If I lock it, it also drops to 750 rpm. How did you go about preloading the valve spring? Thank you so much!
