I was out riding my warrior today and it didn't want to idle. So i adjusted the idle and now the carb will make a back firing noise and shake real bad when it idles and then it will stall out. what else should i try?

When you "adjusted the idle," did you adjust the idle mixture screw or the throttle idle position (stop) screw? Backfiring generally indicates too fuel-lean a mixture.

Your bike is fairly new. But sounds like the pilot jet may have a blockage. Take the carb off and remove the bowl. then remove the little brass jets. I use an ocy/act torch tip cleaning tool the get in the small jets holes. You can use a strand of thin bailing wire. then use carb cleaner and clean it out real good. the gas will turn into a varnish if it sits in the carb for a while. Also check the simple things first like the air filter.
