The idle on my 2001 ZX-11 is messed up. It is a carb bike and the details are as follows.
The bike will no longer idle at low rpms. It either stalls or the idle shoots up to 6 grand. I re-adjust the idle and it is set. Then I go for a ride around the city and at each light it will either stall or stay at a very high idle (5-8k). I keep playing with the idle adjust knob on the side but can not get it to idle at the same level. Sometimes if I play with the choke and keep it on slightly the idle will stay at a low rpm without stalling.
This happened after I killed the battery on my zx-11. I lifted up the tank and recharged the battery. During this process I broke the fuel line right were it attaches to the fuel cutoff knob. I cut the line flush and re attached the hose. I though I might have pinched a breather line but I lifted the tank up again and they were no pinched lines.
Maybe bad gas??? I am still on the same tank.
Think I have a throttle cable that is sticking?
