I replaced the intake and carb seals on my 96 S2, and I still am getting back fires, stumbles, pops & surges. I have a buell race intake with a spacer from a kuryaken haypercharger, gutted SSR2 (that is the way it came) 185 main, 45 slow, 2.5 turns out on the 'hidden' screw, newer split-fires. It idles nice and takes revs (below 3000 rpm rev) when it is cold. As it warms up it does the above mentioned. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Step up your main. Mine runs on a 45/190 and is just about perfect. Also check your plug wires. Mine "tested" fine but if I rode in the rain...forget it. Changed them out, completely different animal. : )

Recheck your seals, you may still have a leak. Don't ask how I know....
I use starting fluid with a directional straw.
Don't use too much as the fumes getting drawn into the intake can fool you.

Thanks for the info guys, do have a recommendation on the plug wires? Can sportster wires be used or is there an aftermarket option?

I run the Screamin Eagle wires for 80-something to 03 XL. No issues, easy to get, and *cheap* (a pair of S/Es cost the same as *one* OEM wire - go figure).
