Another "Hanging Revs" Post (with video)
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2016 3:15 pm
Right, second post in, after some advice on "Hanging Revs"
As per my initial post, standard 2002 L9 with 15kmiles
Recently re commissioned after being stood for 12 months, so pretty much all new serviceable items
Starts fine when cold with a touch of choke and idles as it should 1000 - 1500rpm
Rides Great
After a couple of miles and getting warm/hot she will then idle between 2000 - 3000rpm
I was looking at an after market can, but not if i am going to sit at a set of traffic lights with it idling that high!
I am not mechanically trained, but reasonably handy with a set of spanners and did all the re commissioning work myself..... but have never taken off/apart a set of bike carbs
Last time i took the tank off i changed the gasket between the air box and carbs, and re set the fuel/air mixture screws which didn't seem to make any difference
Just wondered if there is anything else worth trying before i venture into the unknown and have a crack a the carbs?
Thanks in advance
Jon
Here is a little video... 20 miles into a ride, stopping for fuel on the way into work. The reason for me "blipping" is sometimes it will settle back down, making be think something may be sticking inside?? (Sterling Corner, bottom of the A1, north London for anybody interested!)
