I never really noticed this before , but do our carbs do a little 1/8" wiggle dance at idle ? Lola started idling crappy and I was a lookin down and noticed it . Seems like the carb rubbers are acting like a little accordian bellows . Have a Freak , but the carb brace is intact . Was just wonderin' , maybe it was the bash on my head Saturday , dunno .

Go crank up yer bike and take a look .
Thank you , thank you very much .

Yep!! Mine has always done it.Other people have noticed it also ever since I removed my air box and moved the battery. It looks cool with the carbs and pods doin their little pulse dance while I'm warmin her up!

Mine do it with brand new rubbers on, and I think they have since the airbox was removed.

Brand new rubbers? Pulse dance? Freaks? This is startin' to sound like a girl I used to know...
