Why is my bike so slow to start?
This can be the result of couple of things. Firstly, you could have a slow flat. This is a puncture that lets air out of the tyre slowly, rather than farting it out all at once.
How long does it take to get a bike back to idle?
Improper setting of the curb idle speed. This should be done with an accurate shop-grade tach since the tachs on these bikes are notoriously inaccurate! Curb idle should be checked and re-set on a fully warmed engine. “Fully warmed” takes 15-20 minutes of running in typical weather.
Why does my bike take so long to roll?
You asked Google why this phenomenon happens, and we’ve put together a list of the most common causes of slow bike syndrome, and how to rectify them. Running tyre pressures that are too low will have a dramatic impact on how fast your bike is able to roll. This means you’ll be having to work twice as hard to keep up with your mates.
Is the idle speed of a bike too high?
Caution: a “good” idle speed when half warmed up will be too high when fully warmed up, so you must accept the inevitable requirement for some “throttle nursing” until the bike is fully warm. “False Air”…wry description of extra, unwelcome air entering the carbs inappropriately.
Why does too much pressure on a bike slow you down?
To contradict rule No. 3 — too much pressure can actually slow you down too. It basically makes a light rider bounce around on the bike. Proper tire pressure is a feel thing. Just because the tire might have 160 printed on the side-wall doesn’t mean you should automatically do it.

What makes a Bike Go Slow on flat ground?
The Big Thing That Slows You Down. Drag is the single biggest thing keeping you and your bike from going infinitely fast on flat ground. Drag is the sciency term for a force that pushes backwards along your line of travel. Your bike is subject to different sources of drag.
