My idle is smooth and does not flucuate untill the bike gets hot around 95 degrees C. Then it jumps to about 1700 and goes so low it almost cuts off. Wants I leave the light and it cools back down the idle smooths out agian untill I stop again and it heats back up. Any ideas?

Thanks....

Sounds like a fuelling problem. Engine could be "hunting". Engine hunting and surging at idle is caused by a fuel delivery problem (resulting in a weak mixture) or an air leak (ditto)

Check inlet manifolds are tight as a first step.

an air leak is what I was thinking. Heats up, expands. I just wanted to ask the "experts" advice. Thanks. I'll look at that tonight when I get home.
Who's online?
