Hey guys,
So now that Spring is finally here (and I'm not freezing my ass off in the garage or outside), I decided to do some maintenance and clean my carbs to start. As I took them out, I was reminded of the idling issue I had and was wondering if there's something else I need to check, so here goes:
Before winter, I noticed that my Kawasaki started having idling issues. What basically happened is that I would take it out, start it and let out the choke to warm it up for about 15 - 20 minutes. Normally, that's enough and everything is golden. However, whenever I would slow down a stop, the bike would just idle out. It would generally sit at 1.5k rpms, but kept going to 1 and below, which of course would make it stall. This would happen for about an additional half an hour past the original warm up time. I would have to keep the throttle constantly revved for that additional period when I stopped, otherwise it would stall. After a while, this issue goes away. Is there any reason it would do this, and why? Do I have to adjust my idle level, if I'm saying this right, and if so, is it because the idle level just drops overtime or something?
Any info would be appreciated. I'd like to take care of this issue before I finish cleaning the carbs and put everything back together. Still learning, so don't hate on me, please. Thank you in advance.
