wont hold idle even when choked

[jchc413]

Im not sure if I worded the topic correctly but here is what it was doing

Over the last two weeks I only rode my bike 3-4 times.  Then a couple days ago when I started it up to go to work again, with the bike fully choked I had to hold the throttle open to keep the bike from losing rpms and stalling.  Once warmed up it was fine and now that I have ridden it for a couple days in a row no problems warms up like normal.

Just wondering what exactly would cause that too happen and if its anything I need to worry about.

Thanks!

sounds like a fuel issue....

check your fuel finter and the vaccum line to your petcock

It's possible that your valve clearances are out of spec. As the bike warms up, the clearances adjust and the problem seems to go away. When were the valvle clearances last checked?

Im not having the problem anymore why the bike sitting a little bit cause that and then make it go away after riding for a few days?

A bit of water in your gas?

Could be blocked starter jets that have cleared themselves after a good hard run? That has happened to me.
