Title: idling
Post by: monstah on June 11, 2008, 07:04:38 PM
I parked my bike near my office this morning.. Didn't park in my usual spot where they have installed new meters  [bang] so I wasn't able to watch my bike.. Anyway long story short.. When I started my bike in the evening it was in high idling on neutral about 5000RPM and doesn't go down even on other gears ( had a tough time getting home)

Could this be because somebody tampered with my bike?? :-\ or is it something else that I should be worried about.. In anycase how do I fix it?? Thanks in advance

You'd have better luck in tech....

Stupid question-is your fast idle lever on? Maybe someone bumped it.

Year and model would be helpful, too.

But would a fast Idle Lever get the revs that high?

Mine only gets to 3500 RPM

Sounds like a severe intake leak, that'll do it. One of my throttle bodies popped off the rubber venturi on my old SV and it did the same thing. Luckily I was two blocks from my house when it happened.

First thing I'd check would be your throttle cable.

And yes, moving this to the tech section would be a good idea.
