It sounds like one of the air/intake tubes wasn't reinstalled/reconnected properly to the air box.
Never touched the anything in carb area, will check out thoughthe float bowl vent tube--the plastic piece that attaches at the carbs........is it hooked up? is it cracked?
There was only the "Air Vent Filter" (proper name from the manual) Y pipe from the ram air ducts that I believe I disconnected and reattached. I don't recall seeing a smaller one. This one was almost an inch in diameter. I'll double check.the smaller of the "y" lines from the upper fairing inlets---that is hooked back up and not kinked when you re-installed the upper?--that is the float bowl "vent" tube-which really pressurizes the float bowl to match the air box being pressurized
I did do the "loosen tops/bottom bolt" version. Seemed to work just fine, but will do the proper reset way laid out in the manual to be sure.and your #8.........this stupid erroneous advice these assholes post about that shit---totally wrong and dumb to do (if you are saying you did the ....loosen the outside bolts until you hear it click then retighten those).........follow the service manual on how to reset the cam chain tensioner, and if that doesn't work, then buy a new tensioner-it is that simple.
yeah that is it---make sure it is hooked up and not kinkedThere was only the "Air Vent Filter" (proper name from the manual) Y pipe from the ram air ducts that I believe I disconnected and reattached. I don't recall seeing a smaller one. This one was almost an inch in diameter. I'll double check.
