Slipping the clutch should raise not lower the revs Confused

I agree with chris-red and by mixture are you talking about your choke? Do check your choke yes and after that it would be on to looking at your carb. Otherwise that does sound like a bit of a mystery that makes entirely no sense.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

or he means he's slipping it when its in gear at standstill so the revs drop.

turn your idle down when its warm so it idles normally.

Check you have about 2mm of freeplay in the throttle & that the revs don`t increase if you turn the handlebars left or right - just warm the bike up for a few minutes then lower the idle on it (to around 1250 rpm) - do you need help locating the idle adjuster? Thumbs Up

I had a similar problem on a couple of my bikes.
From what I remember, dropping the needle height was what was needed on the CCM.
I wonder if maybe your needles/tubes are a little worn, causing a similar affect.

Oh and it's Revolutions per minute - not revolutions per minutes. The Friday lunch time spin class woman at the gym always says 'RPMs', which leaves me feeling all itchy.
