High Idle problems with my first bike
Hey Guys,
I just bought a 2007 Ninja 250r. I'm stoked to have it and love riding her around. I got it for a good price (1500) but it has some idle issues. After warming it up and with the choke off the bike will idle at around 3500rpm-4500rpm which is obviously way too high. It'll clunk when I pop it into first (which I'm sure isn't a surprise) Sometimes she will start idling high and then will just die if I sit in neutral too long and not rev the engine a little. The throttle also will stick from time to time. It won't stay at a high speed but the throttle will stick and rev high for about 2 or 3 seconds before dropping back down. There is no immediate snap back. I am really concerned and have been scouring ninjette for a while and these seem to be the common answers: - air filter - check for vac leaks - valve adjust - carb clean and adjust If these are the correct things to check, what should I do first? and should I consider a mechanic if I need to do a carb clean and adjust? I'm good with tools and have worked on engines, but this is my first bike and I, unfortunately, don't have a garage to work in. What should I do?! |

Are there ANY modifications to the bike??? How handy are you with carburetors??
you need to address the sticky throttle first, lube the cables, the throttle tube, and the carburetor linkage. Once that's operating smoothly, carefully and meticulously check all the vacuum lines, and petcock for leaks, cracks, and operating properly, then try to adjust the idle with the idle adjustment knob. Your issue is NOT carburetor synchronization!!!!! and also the vacuum method is NOT the proper way to sync carburetors, and here's why, Quote:

There is an idle adjustment knob under the tank left side(as you sit on the bike close to the petcock, try messing with that. |
