What to do if your motorcycle Idle is too low?
If your bike has an ECU you cannot adjust the idle easily. If your bike is idling poorly with an ECU then this points to a larger problem than simply adjusting your idle with a stop screw. My recommendation would be to take it to a shop and have it tuned by a professional.
Can a bike run and idle at the same time?
It runs perfectly and idles with choke off within seconds….A thermal sensor shows that both plugs, and cylinder heads are functioning at the same temp. The engine will run and idle on only 1 cylinder at a time if I want.
What happens when your idle level is too low?
If your bike has been warmed up and is idling lower than the recommended level from the manufacturer, you probably have a couple of problems: The engine will stall easily or may not stay running without throttle being added. You will also experience stalling during take offs. Idle Screw isn’t set properly or the ECU isn’t setup correctly.
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 does my bike idle but wont rev up?
Bad news is that the carb job yesterday hasnt done alot of good, the good news is that it seems to rev now but the bad news is it wont idle so well and now when you rev it the revs stick on. Say, you rev to 3-4 k and loosen the throttle – the revs stay there. Theres quite a bit of white smoke from the exhausts too, and it also leaks fuel on prime .
Why does my bike not rev to higher RPMs?
Since you cannot go above 1300 rpm, that rules out your TCI ignition not advancing, as a cause of your problem. This points to the carbs as likely suspects. You said the bike sat for a year. When was the last known time that you were able to rev the engine to higher rpms?
Can a bike idle perfectly all day long?
It will idle all day long at idle, even a very slow idle…but when you hit the throttle….nuthin……blaaaaaaaaaa then it will idle perfectly again. I am running K N aftermarket air breathers. same prob on or off
What are the symptoms of lean idle on a motorcycle?
Spark plugs are clean – No residue. Insulator may be white. Runs better at higher altitudes – AFR becomes normalized due to reduced atmospheric pressure allowing fuel into the venturi easier. Backfires – Popping on deceleration for a lean idle circuit or backfires in general.
