#282758 SigMan (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 26 idle increases after engine is warmed up? 2 Years ago   my 01' Star runs pretty good but i notice after its warmed up real good it sounds like it is idiling alittle to fast. i bought it last year and it has Bub Jug Hugger pipes on it.they are short and pretty loud with the stock air cleaner. could it be idiling to fast because it has the stock cleaner on it like its struggling for more air flow? i dont know. im new to street bikes. help.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #282760 slothy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1883 Re:idle increases after engine is warmed up? 2 Years ago   could be a intake leak (common) - easy easy is let it get warmed up and spray carb cleaner (i think erb said he had better luck with starter fluid) around the joints, if it changes idle then you know where your leak is.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #282762 maessen (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 63 Re:idle increases after engine is warmed up? 2 Years ago   Airleak on the intake. Gets bigger when hot.

Would this not cause premature deterioration of the rubber o-rings and intake coating? Just a thought, but I would go for the starter fluid IMHO   Logged     http://s799.photobucket.com/albums/yy279/surveywaters/My%20Bike/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #282805 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid. Platinum Boarder Posts: 4337 Re:idle increases after engine is warmed up? 2 Years ago   Adjust the idle when it is warm.... Mine always idles lower when it is cold. It is the nature of a carbed beast.   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #282811 Stocked (User) Wayne Platinum Boarder Posts: 1221 Re:idle increases after engine is warmed up? 2 Years ago   I have an '03 so it too has a carb. I start it with the choke out when cold, once started I push the choke back to half and it definitely idles faster once it is warmed up.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #282814 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12504 Re:idle increases after engine is warmed up? 2 Years ago   Nothing wrong with your bike they all idle faster after they are warmed up. Like was said above set the idle when it is warm just like you adjust the PMS when it is warm. The proper idle speed is 750 - 950 rpm these bikes idle higher than a harley to keep the oil pressure up.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #283045 SigMan (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 26 Re:idle increases after engine is warmed up? 2 Years ago   thanks everyone. but im still going to get a better air cleaner, just cant decide if i want the kurayken hypercherger(looks complicated) or the ness big Sucker or something?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #283048 bartish (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 274 Re:idle increases after engine is warmed up? 2 Years ago   hey guy's if no tach installed, how do you check your idle rpm (750-950) per curt? thanks bartish   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
