idling

Hi! It seems my tacho is showing the RPM wrong. When idling at ~1000rpm, the tacho stays at 0 and just vibrates slightly. As soon as I open the throttle it moves upwards quickly, but doesn't catch up properly until around 4-5000 rpm. Any ideas what may be causing this? I think it's always been...

Guys I have just landed in Germany and picked up my 01 alp. I have no idea which way the choke lever is for on and off. It seems to make no difference to the idle speed. I think off is away from the rider and on is pull towards the rider?? Given there is also a petrol smell when the bike is...

Now its probably me just being anal and not knowing these bikes, but do the gearboxes chatter when idling. It goes away when I engage gear, so its either the gearbox or cluch? What are the release bearings like on these?

please remove mods, double posted. Cheers

I have had idling problem after my previous accident. The bike does not stay at idling but the rave is going up and down making a difference of 500rpm. Is the problem the plugs or the carburettor?? thanks.

My AT recently begun the idling problem where the rave is never idle, goes up n down making a difference between highest and lowest 500 rpm. Is the problem plugs or the carburetter? plz help.

Hi all,, Now after about a month of getting all sorted on my RD04, new Ohlin's backshock, new Scorch exhaust, seat etc, etc....... I took her for her first "stroll" on Saturday and all was well loads of power, quick acceleration.......was very chafed with myself for a job well done... :D:D:D...

whole new idling problem with the AT :cry: This happened quite suddenly. The bike hasn't been serviced at all, but I did need to move the airbox a bit (not right off, just shoved aside a bit) to get access to fit the new ignition switch. Symptoms: - runs fine in normal riding - when I...

Have a problem which doesn't seem to correspond to any of the many earlier threads on idling problems... (unless I missed somehting, there's a lot of discussion on it!) Idle is OK on the choke - normal fast idle at about 2500rpm. But when the engine is warm enough that it should idle without...
