Started it for the first time tonight in over a year. Started up without a problem.. However, after a few minutes it started to idle a little rough and the idle screw wasn't doing anything.. Then I noticed that the temp on the gauges was hopping up and down

The overflow hoses on the tank weren't connected so maybe thats it?

Any ideas?

 

what type of bike is that? about the sputtering, maybe check the spark plugs, im definitely no mechanic though

 

brand new spark plugs

figured if whoever was posting couldn't figure out what it was then they weren't that much of a help anyways

 

did you check all your wires and connections? it was a crashed bike right? could have been a frayed wire somewhere and once it heated up it fried the wire.............. just a suggestion

 

**** idle could be the idle screw not being screwed in at all. take it out (just turn it left till it pulls out, its longer than u think) and move it to the throttle bodies. im thinkin ur problem is that u are running dead idle and it runs good for a min cuz its on the high warm up idle. moving the idle cable should fix that but as far as the temp sensor thats beyond me. but there could also be a connection btwn the ****ed idle and the temp sensor cuz they work together to make the cold (high) idle

 

I screwed it all the way in each direction and it didnt even affect the idle at all..

I have a cable going into the throttle bodies as well

 

Not wrecked at all..I only rock mint bikes

 

wack about 4 inches off that bar and you'll be good to go.

 

did the rpms drop after a couple mins or did the idle stay at the same rpm and just spudder and run like ****?

 

already did

 

blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

j/p looks alot better,you have a venom sprocket on it?

 

 

they stayed high for the first 30 seconds or so.. then started dropping and dropping to where it wanted to stall

 

Now weird temps and rough idle would usually idicate a lean mixture in the carb, but I don't think that's carbed, so possibly an airleak somewhere causing it to lean out. But, I'm so new to the higher technology bikes and whatnot, so take it for what it's worth, lol.

-Max.

 

i'm disappointed in you Nags. I thought you were gonna keep it real with the 929.

 

may as well hook up the 900rr idle adjustment cable while its apart, it makes a huge difference

 

the 929 ain't going nowhere :YEAH

 

already did

 

did u try turning the 900rr cable when the revs start to drop? does it run fine if u give it gas? i have only seen the opposite of wat ur talkin about...wierd temps on the gauges and idle rising then falling and so on, but never just falling.
