Why does my bike lose power when I idle?
Again, if you ride a modern bike you’ll have no idea what a choke is, but even Electronically Fuel Injected motorcycles reveal a lot by “blipping” the throttle. Rich bikes are getting too much gas, so they idle high but lose power when given initial throttle because they can’t burn all the gas.
How can you tell if your bike throttle cable is going bad?

How can I tell if my motorcycle is lean?
Extremely lean motors can also stall out completely when given some light throttle. Another sign of lean running is the “hunting idle” where the motorcycle revs up randomly, changes RPMs, or takes forever to come down to idle. First, start simple and look for a loose or open vacuum hose.
What to do if your dirt bike is bogging out?
It only applies to bikes with carburettors, either a two-stroke or four-stroke. If you have a fuel-injected bike, it’s most likely your fuel pump or your fuel filter. If your Dirt bike is brand new, you need to adjust the needle on the carburettor slide. For doing this, find the carburetor through the panel under the bike.
How many turns out the fuel screw on a dirt bike?
So when you get the carburetor tilted a little bit, you will get access to the screw. Start by checking how many turns out the fuel screw. About 1 and 3/4, so that is somewhat in the range for where it should be, so put it to 2 out and see if that makes a difference rotate.

The clutch cable is far sneakier and creeps into your perception as perceived clutch slippage.
Why does my bike idle but not die?
This is a classic and very obvious clogged pilot jet. If you can start and idle fine, but slowly rolling on the throttle bogs/dies, that’s the culprit. If you can make it through the bog and then it suddenly roars to life, that’s also a really big confirmation as well.
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 die when given the slightest?
This is a classic and very obvious clogged pilot jet. If you can start and idle fine, but slowly rolling on the throttle bogs/dies, that’s the culprit. If you can make it through the bog and then it suddenly roars to life, that’s also a really big confirmation as well. See my reply to the other comment for a more detailed explanation.
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.

A vacuum leak leads to too much air being added to the air-fuel mixture the carburetor makes. When your motorcycle engine is getting too much air and not enough fuel, it won’t run right. In fact, the more gas you try to give the motorcycle, the more air will be sucked into the unwanted holes which will ultimately make you lose power.

Why does my bike keep cutting out power?
If so, then the remedy could be replacing or adjusting the sensor, shifter, or lever. If the motor doesn’t restore power, then the sensors are probably not to blame. The controller is the ‘processor’ in your e-bike system, and it’s another common reason why the bike might cut out power.

What to do if your car engine has rough idle?
If you own an old car and are experiencing rough idling, it is a good idea to clean the carburetor and check the hoses for damage or dirt buildup.

Can a bad throttle position sensor cause idle surging?
Idle surging can be caused due to other issues in the car, but if it happens in conjunction with other throttle position sensor symptoms, the culprit is often the TPS. At idle, the ECM will not get the correct information and the throttle will variate randomly causing idle surges. 3) Check Engine Light

Educate your customer that the engine is an industrial engine and that if they use it at idle/low speed all the time, it’s advisable to throw it in low gear (on the 4×4’s) and run the engine against the governor for a while about once a week. This will prolong the same thing happening.
Is the throttle body adjustable on a Kawasaki?
Kawasaki does not give specific sensor values and throttle opening angles that are to be followed when/if the screw is adjusted. Thus, it’s easy to “turn up the idle”, but then the sensors are out of range, and it’s anyone’s guess as to where they “should” be. Kawasaki designs them at the factory, and they’re not adjustable.
