ok i got an 05 gixxer and am wondering how to fix the fluctuating idle problem?? i've heard some **** about oil pick ups and other people just hate on gsxr's...if i can get this straight i'd love my bike forever, if not, she's gotta go lol so how do i fix it? what do i buy? who has one for meeeeee? lol thanks fellas

 

kleen air mod helps from what I have heard. I have never had idle problems with mine though. once it warms up a few minutes its golden.

 

need more information. What exactly is it doing? At what rpms? In gear? out of gear? Under load? etc.,...
My old 03' had a bad idle problem. I would set it at 3k, but once in BP it would surge down to 2k or lower. Drove me crazy!!! I never found out what was wrong and sold it.

 

Put a power commander on it and kick the idle up a little....my 06 had it and all GSXR do it with a pipe, once you put the pc on it will idle real smooth....the block of or clean air mod just keeps it from holding excessive back pressure and will eliminate the Poping on decell....thats it..

I used Jamie at Fuelmoto for 260....PC mapped and dead on with a nice sweet curve

 

its happening all the time. i usually set my rpm to 3500 and even when im in neutral it will fluctuate, as well when im in bp. its not too excessive but is annoying. i just always feel like im going back and forth with the throttle and brake...then again i've only been doin this for 6 months so maybe i need more practice...and i'm not really tryin to put a power commander on...i have a stock can thats cut down and did the kleen air mod back in the dizzay...so whats this stuff about the oil pick up?

 

sounds like your just learning, but i could be wrong. It shouldnt do it when in nuetral. Id double check your vac lines when you did the mod. So does the idle come back up or just surge down. If it comes back up after you gas it, then your probably just need to practice more. Sounds common. If the idle does anything like what I describe in my other post, you might have an issue. Power commander and pickup are not needed.

 

Can you get some video of it? Can you create the problem when the bike is parked/on two wheels?

 

idk bout the 05's but the 07 1000 had a recal with the idle control sensor or some **** i had to take my friends to the dealership to get it fixxed. id check on the recals for that year. o got a 04 gixxer 750 havent had any real problems with it except a small oil leak somewere its nothing major..

 

the pair valve/kleen air mods makes idle pull hard, also the oil pickup does make a difference!, gearing is probably the biggest issue, try not to go down too much on the front if any...do all the gearing in the rear.....also make sure your chain is not too loose, makes the bike jerky when coming down to idle...3500 is too much idle if youve done all this....3000 tops the gixxers dont like going over 3k idle!

I am trying to get a 636 myself though....still doesnt pull like the kawi's or honda's....gonna keep mine as an endo bike!

 

im geared down one up eleven...kinda much but i've gotten used to it. I set it at 3500 because when it decides to drop it's still cranked enough to help with no handers and ****...

to gixxerz and dragin: i think i have that same oil leak problem...bunch of build up and **** caked all on the right side of the motor?? thats what i have...doesn't seem major tho....

and to 287: i'll try and get some video tonight or tomorrow

someone needs to see it i guess and explain wtf i need to do!

thanks for everyones help so far

 

Run the stock exhaust and you'll never look back.

 

i am runnin it...cut short

best pic i can find with exhaust....

 

yo!! what up george i had the same problem with my old bike, i had the stuntex oil pickup, kleen air mod, and TRE mod. it ran pretty smooth after all that stuff.

 

Well then.... Not anything you can do its a gsxr I had a 2005 gsxr600 and the idle was funny but youll get used to it.

 

He said he had a "fluctuating idle problem??"
kleen mod, oil pickup, or gearing wont do a thing to Fix his issue. If his up/down idle has always been experienced from day one then I agree. I still havent heard if this is from him just learning or actually a problem with the bike.

 

ever since my 2002 gsxr iv been fighting the same problem!! i have any 05 now and always trying new ways to correct this! but i could tell u that i would pull no handers for days wit the 2000 gixxers 750 ..nothin was stoppin that bike for some reason!i had oil pick up and stuck a small spouge in the breather hose! that bike was only geared like 4 up! my o5 is a 600 and i geared the **** out it! someone told me also to try the tre and someone also said something bout the clutch switch! really love the bike.it is a bit heavy .i was thinkin of another bike but if i make this thing right ill die wit it!

i don't think it would have to do with me learning if the bikes in nuetral and has the problem lol.

Whats up mikey? so your **** was runnin aight?

anyone have a stuntex oil pickup?
and whats the tre mod?

i'll have a vid tomorrow

 

POWER COMMANDER U **** TARDS.......and check the TPS is the reason...dammmmm

mine went from surging slightly to 1100 and it doesn't move a bit........It would take a whole 5 mins to get any GSXR to run smooth....

 

my gixxer 600 04, does also fluctuate a little, but when i drive it like 3k, than it will go to 2000 and up to 3500, when i do the iddle on 2000 a 2500 than it has no problem at al, i can break it down to like 1200 rpm, and he just pulls it up to 2500 with mutch strengt.
i have a pc3 on it, a oilpick upp mod (not that that have any tho do with iddle)
a knn air filter, and a short noisy exaust, with the stock exaust he even runs better on iddle. i come frome a old cbr f2, and this is just a cheaterbike compairing tho the old f2.
YUT UUUUUUHHHGGGH
