Is it bad for a motorcycle to idle?
Letting a motorcycle idle is not bad provided that it is not done excessively. Liquid cooled motorcycles can tolerate idling better compared to air cooled motorcycles and temperature should be considered when it comes to letting an air cooled engine idle.
Is it bad to let dirt bike idle?
Setting your bike to not idle does not affect the jetting, it affects the response when snapping the throttle open from fully closed. Personally, I haven’t found any advantage to setting the idle screw that low, so I set my idle speed so that the engine will just barely idle.
Why is my electric bike cutting out on Me?
You’re making your way up a steep hill when suddenly the motor cuts out, and you’re left trying to make up the slack as you power up the hill on your own. Why would your electric bike cut out on you while you’re riding it, and what can you do to keep this from happening again, especially if you don’t live near a shop that services e-bikes?
Why does my bike start when I turn it off?
Unscrew the ignition module from the bracket and wiggle the wires when the bike is on. If you duplicate the issue, that’s it. That could also be why it starts sometimes and not others. Bc you’re turning the key on and off and it’s “hitting” right or wrong.
What to do if your bike dies at a red light?
I wobble the bike to the median/sidewalk since it doesn’t restart back up like the other times. turn the key a couple times and then the thing lights up again, and starts back up. About 1/4 mile from that spot, filtering down to another red light in traffic and dies completely again. Wobble off to the side.
How does a bike die while going 40 mph?
But other than that it just doesn’t make sense how the bike just shuts off completely speedo / electric and engine dies while going 40 mph. After I safely made a complete stop I was able to fire her back up no problem. Finishing running an errand and while accelerating up to ~35 it dies for about 2 secs and regains power.

What to do if your bike Idles but bogs with throttle?
I will look during tomorrow times. If it idles fine but it bogs down with throttle, your high speed gas jet is probably clogged. Clean your carb and spray carb cleaner in all small passages, make sure air can flow through all ports no matter how small. Put it back together and it should run great.
What causes a bike to stall at idle?
The slightest air leak would upset idle mixture and cause stalling or high idle speed that cannot be adjusted with the throttle stop screw. I’d look at some simple stuff first, like the spark plug – which might fire OK at idle, but misfires under throttle?
What should I do if my motorcycle won’t start?
Unless you have one of those new all-electric motorcycles, your bike needs three main things to run- Spark, Fuel/Air mixture and Compression. Your bike will either run rough or not start at all without the proper amounts of any of those elements.
