Maybe your throttle cable is jam?

There are 4 cables that can cause problems to your bike's operation when doing a handlebar swap.

 

Check that you 2 throttle cable, 1 clutch cable and 1 choke cable (for non v-tec) are operating properly. You will have to do a thorough job of inspecting each cable from inside the control switch to the engine. Make sure there are no kinks and they are mounted and adjusted properly.

Should be somewhere below the carbs (if yours is not revo) in the middle of the 4 carbs. The knob is quite big and you can easily turn with your hand.

 

Do it in the morning when the engine is cold. Use a torchlight to find the exact location first.

 

Actually if your bike is able to hold it idling, there is no need to adjust.

I've heard a lot about heavy balancers on Super 4 that it's very good.

 

What are the types of balancers available?

 

Which brand of balancer should I go for? And... where to install them? Thanks!

When ur mech fix back the carbs that time, he probably to not tune the idling properly. Get back to them to do, tuning it on your own probably wont be accurate.

But Spec1 has got its good points. And if u know, Spec1 demand is better than Spec2.

 

Just that mainstand, I wont think of getting the Spec2.
