How do you fix a dirt bike that won’t idle?
If your fuel injected dirt bike won’t idle or stay running well after sitting for several months, try running some fuel injector cleaner through it. Sometimes just running an engine for a little bit will clean out the junk that was sticking in the fuel system.
What happens when the Idle is high on a Harley Davidson?
Strange that there are no historical codes since you did say you saw the check engine light come on. (Could be you went through 50 key cycles with no engine issues) When you get off the interstate & the idle is high,,, if you were to power it off and restart the bike, does the idle calm down or does it resume the high idle.
What causes rough idling in a motorcycle engine?
A broad range of problems can cause rough idling in a motorcycle engine.

Motorcycle manufacturer recommendations vary, but most issues can be isolated using a …
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.
Why is the RPM on my Harley Davidson so high?
(Could be you went through 50 key cycles with no engine issues) When you get off the interstate & the idle is high,,, if you were to power it off and restart the bike, does the idle calm down or does it resume the high idle. Would help to know how high the RPM was, but you have no tach. (?)
What kind of idle mixture does a Harley Davidson use?
I went to the 48 idle jet and raised the needle 1 washer and am running a 195 main with 95″ and cams and exhaust. Getting 40 mpg and have the idle mixture turned out 3 turns. It runs good and NO coughs at any rpm and no rich smell at the pipe at idle. The further out you turn out the idle mixture the leaner it gets.

How is the idle level on a motorcycle set?
Setting the idle level. On the older motorcycles where a carburettor is mixing air and fuel, the idle level is set by a simple stop screv that prevents the throttle valves from closing completely, and you can simply turn this screw in or out to adjust the idle level.
Why does my Harley Davidson cough at idle?
Came back, resprayed WD and found no change in idle so I stand here thinking the intake seals are not/no longer leaking. Put the .48 back in, re-rode to test and it’s back to the occasional cough. Does it only after idling at a light for a minute or so and blipping the throttle to take off.
