I recently installed an '01 motor in my '00 frame.
I used the carbs and starter from my '00 motor. The bike starts just fine but something just doesn't seem right.
If I'm stopped at a light the bike idles kinda high (~2500-3000 rpm).
Also the bike just doesn't feel like it has that kick that it had when you would roll on the throttle, I couldn't get the bike to go any faster than 140 mph, last year I could get her up to 165 mph before I lost the nerve.
Just wondering if there could be anything I missed with the exup valve and should I have the carbs cleaned and synchronized?
I tried pulling some 2nd gear wheelies and as soon as the front tire got off the ground it would come right back down no matter how much throttle I gave it.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Throttle is opening all the way, I had the carbs sychronized (they were all over the place) and I threw in a new set of plugs. I live in Wisconsin and the weather sucks right now so I haven't had a chance to put her out on the road yet. The bike does sound alot better though.

It will run under 2500 rpm but I did not calibrate the exup because I didn't know how, can you give me any tips on doing the calibration.
