    Default RPM at idle

    The idle speed when new was 1400-1450 with not much fluctuation. Now at 2500 mi it seems to be bouncing between 1350 and 1450 . There is more fluctuation than before. This suggests an imbalance between the airboxes. Are there take-off ports on the airboxes and if so has anyone tried to balance the boxes? I don't have a shop manual so I am not familiar with the process.

    I had a fuel injected BMW and I could balance the boxes quite easily.

    Thanks for the fast response. Yes, I meant throttle bodies. The device I had for my Beemer measured the flow of air and I adjusted the throttle cable to balance them out. Worked very well.
