Removed the caps off of the air vent lines/ fuel overflow lines on the carbs, started her up and no leaks. Put the air box and filter back on, and rode her 5 miles in the mist and loved every second! Damn I'm and idiot.

Re-adjusted my Carb pilot screws according to 8541hawks set up. Got a Motion Pro carb sync and plan on doing that tomorrow before work. Took the bike out to run acouple errands after the rain and it ran very good. i will see where I stand after I sync the carbs tomorrow and figure out what needs to happen next.

yeah 1:52.4 was my best time of the day...I was running fairly consistent low 1:50s after I learned the track (2nd track day on the bike, first time at Fontana ever)
I made tons of mistakes though I think the bike is capable of mid-high 1:40s with someone that actually knows what they're doing

Did my first 1 - 2 successful gear change wheelie on her. Man I suck at wheelies now
Used to stunt, but it's been 12 years or so LOL. No desire to now but had a shitty day at work and the opportunity presented itself

Warm winter day in the 'burgh.
An extremely rare 70 degree day at this latitude in March made me take it out for a spin. Woo-hoo! Ride 'em cowboy!
For some strange reason the front wheel kept lifting off the road. Wasn't even trying to stunt or anything. I guess it got more powerful resting over the winter.. must be the fresh coolant and mosfet R/R.

74 here in Ohio and i will be riding all week to work and then taking the long way home. I went +5 on the rear and -1 on the front. Speedo is WAY off getting the healer soon. I'm getting 125 miles on a tank before the light comes on, that is all in town riding. 0 to 100 is awesome after that not so good. Red light to red light is the best when a cbr1000 pulls up and I can beat him to the next light

Got my hawk running today for the first time in 8 months. I'm surprised at how well it ran. I expected to have the same problems as your having.
