It should burble at you with out dying off.

For mine its around 11,000 on the trike and slightly higher on the GB.

How are the rest of your electrics?

when you say 11000 isnt that a bit high cause mine idles at 2000 when the bike is standing after its warmed up

yeh all electrics are fine apart from electric start

Thanks

Ok mate lol i take it your always rushing when replying whilst at work incase management should walk past behind you lol

The GB is sub 2,000 what do you mean by this?

She has to idle high because every so often she misses a beat and the engine can die if she is set too low so I have her idling at under 2k.

Hopefully when I've replaced the headgasket that problem will evaporate.

Anythig happen with the starter or has it just packed it in?

Ok thanks

Problem started just last night and wont electric start

[iooi]

Might help if you say what bike ?

Mines around 1,000 rpm some can be lower, some higher.
Kick or eletric start will make no diffrence.

Yeah, when warm it should be a healthy tick over so it doesnt sound like it is struggling, or revving either.

No idea on the numbers as my bike doesnt have a rev counter.

My car idles at 1,500 when cold and about 800 when warm

basically, go for a nice long ride, fully warm the thing up, then adjust your idle jet so that the bike isnt about to stall and struggling to carry on, but not so high that its racing a bit.
once you've found those 2 points, you need to find a mid-point so that the throttle response is still quite fast, yet the engine still isnt racing.

When fully warm, larger capacity engines should be set to idle between 1050-1250rpm. Singles need to be at the higher end of the scale for a reliable idle.

Smaller capacity motors may need higher idles, but ive yet to see an idle much over 1500rpm.
