Hey all
After reading some previous threads today, I was motivated to investigate the bike! Not had time to read it for the last week so fired her up a moment ago. Due to being bludy freezing! I had the choke on, after 15-20 seconds went up to a steady 4k rpm so took it off. However noticed the bike sounded a bit strange and got to 1500 rpm then dropped under 1k and stalled, 3 attempts later took it for a ride to warm her up. At some lights the bike (no choke!) had a idle of 2300 rpm ![]() 2300rpm 1400rpm border line 1000rpm almost stall back to 2000+ and vice versa So the rpm without choke and after a 25 minute ride wont keep steady and smooth and seems be almost stalling yet bouncing up and down more than a fat kid and cake ![]() Any help would do! |

you need to get the choke cables out, clean and lube them, then check for air leaks around carbs etc-when was your bike last serviced?(big one)

I think that someone is going to come along and say clean your choke plungers out but I have not had the joy of doing that yet so can not advise
![]() I'v heard that these can cause bad idle as they get stuck open. Another thing to do would be balance your Carbs but not the ones you eat! ![]() Someone will let you know. Oops see beat me to it!!! |

Ive had similar problems. and would suggest you look at the choke. Although tbh yorkie chris is possably the best person to speak to.
the choke plungers stick aparently so i have took to turning the bike over a few more times and not using the choke. Seemed to work this morning and the ride was great afterwards |

![]() Last major service, I dont have a clue, only had the bike a month now and mileage is high (44K) but looking at the service book the previous owner gave me, the last stamped one he got was 1/2/o6 ![]() |
