How do I stop my bike from bogging?
Consider cleaning the air filter or replacing it with an air kit to see if the problem is resolved. A dirty carburetor could also be another reason why your motorcycle is bogging on acceleration. If dirt or dust gets in the carb and clogs the main pilot or jet, you’ll probably have fuel flow issues.
What does it mean when your bike won’t idle?
1. Engine starts with medium choke and slight throttle 2. Must hold slight throttle and feather choke to keep engine running 3. Engine will rev with throttle, but is rough at times (because it is choked) 4. If I release throttle then the engine dies immediately 5. If I turn choke completely off then the engine gets weaker and weaker until it dies
What’s the idle speed on a Yamaha bike?
The bike hasn’t been running to my knowledge for 4-5 months. Prior to my purchase the previous owner, a friend, said he cleaned the carbs. Basically, she’ll start up fine and idle around 1500-2000 rpm (full choke) but upon going to 1/2 choke or giving her any throttle, she dies.
Why does my bike not start when I give it throttle?
Check the carb diaphrams. If there is a slit of hole in the diaphram (s) the needle will not lift (giving it more fuel) when you roll on the throttle. Hold the diaphram up to a very bright light and look carefully. Also, if the air passages running up to the diaphram chamber are blocked, the slide will not lift.
Why does the round slide on my Yamaha die?
The round slide seems pretty stout, but the diaphragm that controls its operation could get a tear in it and cause it not to operate right. There are lots of pinholes in the needle jet that clog up easily. The main jet is a pretty big hole that wouldn’t clog too easily, and mainly just limits the flow at full WOT.

Which is the best idle speed for a bike?
While the bike is warming up the RPM can be a little higher than at operating temperature. The best idle speed really depends on the type of engine and air to fuel ratio. The best thing you can do to figure out what idle speed is best for your bike, is to search in the user manual.
What causes rough idling in a motorcycle engine?
A broad range of problems can cause rough idling in a motorcycle engine. A problem with fuel delivery, spark plug operation or metering of the air-fuel charge can cause problems at idle that may not be obvious at higher rpm ranges. Motorcycle manufacturer recommendations vary, but most issues can be isolated using a
Why does the throttle stick on my motorcycle?
A motorcycle idles high when it is getting too much of an air and fuel mixture in a low speed or neutral position. This is usually caused by the idle screw on the carburetor being out of adjustment, an out of place throttle handle screw, a bad carburetor throttle spring, or a sticky throttle or throttle cable.
