Hi there!

On the carburetor, there is an idle knob. Make sure it is not set too high. This is normal during a cold start so make sure to adjust the idle knob back at 1,100 RPM after your engine is warmed up.

Also, make sure the choke system is clean and is free. Throttle cable should have an allowance of just about .8cm.

The engine idle may also be controlled with the thermostat connected to the grill fan. it will normally idle up to about 2,000 rpm when it senses that the engine is too hot but not 4,000.00 make sure this system is working well.

let me know if this helps

Rough idling when warm heritage

Sounds like it is sucking in air from somewhere. Check between carbs or other gaskets. Good Luck

06 street glide dying until warmed up

Your cold idle setting is wrong. You need to adjust that a bit higher. When your scoot warms up, it will drop back to your warm idle setting.

Honda shadow vt1100c 1986 idile to low after running awhile

There's an idle adjustment screw. The bike runs faster when cold because the fuel\air adjustment is richer on a cold engine. When the bike warms up, the fuel becomes more lean in mixture because the heat causes the fuel to expand, i.e., less molecules of fuel to the firing sequence of the piston. When the bike is warmed up, after say ten minutes, the heat causes a leaner mixture, so adjust the idle on a hot engine (about 1000 rpm more or less). The bike will idle faster when cold, then drop rpm's as the engine warms up. Good luck

Can any one tell me what the settings are for the pilot scew on my benelli 491 rr carburettor

Start the bike and let it idle in neutral. Keep it idling for at least 8-10 minutes so the bike is good and warmed up. Once the bike is warmed up adjust the carburetor screw in or out little bits at a time until the bike idles at approx. 1800 RPM! Easy fix. Good luck!

I have a 2005 harley davidson sportster xl 1200 custom. after bike is at normal operating temp.when i stop for redlight or stop sign, bike idles to fast.i can let out on clutch little bit and it will slow...

If the carb is adjusted correctly, the engine will not idle without the choke when cold. I will usually take at least 3 to 5 miles of riding to get the engine warm enough to idle by itself without the choke. If your bike is a full operating temperature, it should idle at about 1000 RPM. If it's idling higher than this, you need to slow it down a bit.

Remove the air filter cover and look at the top right side of the carb. You'll see a screw there . This is the throttle stop screw. Turn the screw counterclockwise to lower the idle speed to 1000 RPM or so. Blip the throttle and let it settle back to idle. Reset it if necessary. Once set, put the air cleaner cover hand on.

My 2005 Katana 600 F was idling slow at about 600 - 700 RPM so I messed with a throttle screw under the throttle lever. I got it to idle at 1000 RPM where I think it should be. But now when I turn the...

turn the cable adjuster back to its original position ie between 600-700 rpm look to the left hand side of the carbs you will see a large adjusting screw on a metal bracket whilst engine is running turn inwards towards rear wheel until between 1000 - 1500 rpm remember to warm engine first as rpm will rise if idle is set with a cold engine as the engine warms up when riding

Cutting out at idle

the batery is ok if the engine start avery time. Also the volts are ok.
Have you made any modifications on it? Sport exhaust, sport air filter?
Check also the air filter. Make sure is clean...
Idle speed should be around 1000-1200 rpm. You should have a screw to fix the idle speed. Check it on the carburetors area, or download the manual from internet.

Cheers.
