im hoping that’s all it was. Just had a little more than normal in there when I filled it. I’m going to take it out tomorrow and see if I get any more coming out.

Sounds over filled.

Was the bike being held upright by a jack? Do you have a trans dip stick? I made this mistake once and over filled when the bike was on the bike jack and not completely not resting on the wheels. The bike needs to be on it's wheels and straight up when filling and checking dipstick.

If no dipstick, then a simple case of adding a little to much. YD

As far as the high idle, your new enricher is probable not seated properly.

But I also lowered the front with new springs and added a 21” front wheel. So for as many times as I’ve changed the trans fluid before, the bike sits different now so I just went with the measurements and I believe I put in about 26 ish ozs when I filled it.

yeah that was going to be my next thing to look at. Taking off the carb and reseating that and making sure the cables have a clear path and are lubed good.

I had a similar issue a couple of years back. Someone on the forum asked if I over filled the transmission fluid.

I put a balloon over the vent tube with a clamp. Balloon had fluid in it on my next ride. Definitely over filled it.
