Default Rough idle

My bike started missing terribly, so I did a full time up. New ngk iridium's (properly gapped at .35), new ignition coils (coilspec) and dropped a k&n filter in it. Fired it up and it purred smoothly. Took it for a test ride and all was working fantastic. Then after I got home it died on me in the driveway due to a rough idle. Bike runs good.....just has a very rough idle and sometimes at very low rpms seems to be a bit sketchy. Any ideas????

What rpm does your bike idle at once warm ?

Around 1 to 1 1/2. I adjusted the idle up to keep it from dying. It's still not idling right tho.....its too rough.

Start off by going back over everything you just did. I can't count how many times I've thought I tightened or snugged something, only to find it's worked itself loose...

That was my first thought. Vacuum line or something I didnt put back right. I sure hate to have to tear into it again.

Ah, think of it as "practice" for when you have to do your valve clearance check!

The manual says every 16,000 but many wait until 20-30,000. At your mileage I'd be inclined to do it soon. The only symptom that I'm aware of is that it gets harder to start. Check this thread - https://cbrforum.com/forum/f4i-main-...ustment-58128/
