    How is it going to be tuned? What's being tuned? VAFC, Hondata, etc? OR are you just talking about degreeing in the cams?

    the pro2 series is a beefier cam than the stock ITR. it stalls when it's warm because the idle drops to 700 instead of 1200...

    try raising it.

    i assume you adjusted the valves. it's stalling out because it needs to be tuned. those cams are totally different than stock cams. if you have adjustable cam gears and they are adjusted it makes it even more extreme.

    bump the idle via the idle screw or tighten the throttle cable slightly opening the throttle until you can get it tuned.

    typically with more aggressive cams you want to be able to flow as much out as possible so a good header and exhaust is essential. if your exhaust is too restrictive it will kill your power.
