SOURCE: Yamaha TTR 250, Idling Problem

check the inlet manifold rubber has not seperated from the aluminium part of the manifold ,this is very common on the ttr 250 and will cause the exact problem you have,if it is seperated either replace it or repair it with some good quality rtv sealant avoid sillicone sealant as it is not petrol resistant and will turn to jelly.adam

SOURCE: 1986 Yamaha Radian stops running after 20 minutes

Sounds to me like it could be a few things... pretty interesting that it runs and shuts down...sits for a little while then fires back up. Could be something as simple as a bad ground.. maybe it needs cleaned.. if the ground is making very little contact.. the bike would run bad, and because its direct current it has to flow. The metal in the motor frame etc will hold so much DC current.. but *** soon as it load up the bike would stop sparking. Let it sit for a while, DC trickles into the battery through the slight contact, bike fires back up. OR could be bad venting of your fuel tank, or a partial clog at the pet ****.. the first is pretty easy to check, open your fuel cap and start the bike..if it does the same thing then its not a vent problem. One thing that does happen on the Radian, is the reserve fuel screen inside the tank comes loose, and then everything inside the that has built up over the years either partially clogs the pet ****, or the hose, or both. Take the tank off, pull the pet **** off..if it still has two intact tubes with good screens..you probably don't have any junk in your line..but I would pull the line off and blow through it any way... it could be some type of blockage, when the bike sets the fuel seep through, but when it runs it eventually creates a vaccuum that stops the fuel flow. Those are my two first thoughts... good luck!!

Radian idles high at 4 g then drops down to 21/2 g then dies

Your Radian has 4 Mikuni carbs. If just one has a stuck float or one set incorrectly it will overflow with gas and run out. The bike will run poorly if at all. You need to pull all the carbs and clean them thoroughly. Check you r fuel line too for leaks and cracks. Make sure your air filter is clean and the boot going to the carbs from the airbox. Check the boots on both sides of the carbs for cracks. Air leaks can cause the idle issues you describe but you have to fix the overflowing carbs first which might fix all of it. Make sure you have a nice large work area, don't lose the small jets or strip the bolts. This answer is directly for your issue you have presented. Good luck!

How do you adjust the high speed, low speed jets on a 2002 Yamaha Road Star carburator.

The jets are not adjustable. Well - the pilot jet is adjustable a little by turning the air screw, but this is for fine tuning, not for correcting an incorrectly sized jet. If the air screw is screwed out more than about 2.5 turns, the pilot jet is too large and if it is turned in less than 1 turn, your pilot jets are too small.

Adjust the air screw out until you get the highest, smooth idle and then turn back in about 1/4 turn or less.

It is a good idea to check or just change your air filter prior to making any mixture or carb adjustments - make sure the intake tract is not restricted and make sure the spark plugs are in decent shape.

To 'adjust' the jets, they must be replaced. I know this is not what you were hoping to hear, but to adjust the jetting, the carbs have to come off and you have to get into the float bowls to physically change the jets.
