fast idle after instaling pods

Good day all
    After installing pod filters I noticed the engine would idle fast on a warm engine it would eventually slow down some if given enough time but not to the point of normal idle. Turned the idle screw down and this seemed to fix things.. On the next ride of a much longer duration the same thing happened so I turned the idle down again. The bike seems to run fine otherwise.. set the carbs with a manometer after installing pods and that looked good never reset air screws from previous stock set up any ideas as to what is happening folks.

The pods have less restriction to airflow than the OEM airbox and filter.  Thus the vacuum signal is less than it was, thus the amount of fuel drawn into the airflow is less.
Turn the pilot adjustment screws out by 1/4 or maybe 1/2 turn to make the idle mixture a bit richer.  This should fix your problem.
