so my bike has some problem that i cant seem to figure out...when i first start my bike (cold) with the choke ON it idles at around 6k RPM
and if i bring it down with the idle screw once i turn the choke off it just dies,if i set the idle speed at around 2k RPM with the choke off the bike hesitates @ take off until it gets to like 4k RPM then it just takes off!!!! :dunno_black: :dunno_black:
thank you guys for the help :thumb:
Sounds like you need to pull the carbs and give them a really good clean. Jets included.

i have, 3 time already and still the same !!!!! that was the same thing i thought too :dunno_black:
Hmmm I am sure someone else will chime in with another theory?
K&N filter? Exhaust? Rejet? Or completely stock?

all stock for now ...trying to get everything fixed so i can star with the performance mods
Air leak around the intake? How old is the bike?
And how did you clean the carbs? There is a right way and a wrong way.....
First off, pull the spark plugs and check to see if it's running rich or lean.
It sounds to me like you may be running rich, which is odd, as these bikes run lean from the factory.
I'd check your air filter, float levels, and needles. It's either not getting enough air, or getting too much fuel, causing the bogging before 4k.
Then again, I could be full of it and be corrected by weedahoe, adidas, or buddha any minute lol. But, it's my $.02.
Check your valve clearances. When I first got my bike it was having all kinds of weird choke/idle/surging problems. The idle screw constantly needed adjusting, it took forever to warm up, it would start surging in the middle of a ride, etc. It turned out the valves were too tight and thus weren't closing, causing the funky symptoms.
all the above then balance carbs possibly.
Both side of the motor hot once warm? Proceed with caution here of course dont burn yourself.
Color of each plug?
Ok thanks you guys for the help ...will be checking everything mentioned...after checking the carb diagram i noticed that on the fuel mixture screw before the spring there is a washer and an o-ring witch are missing on my carbs
I cleaned the carbs using lots of carb cleaner and a thin guitar cord
Ill post a pic of my plugs as soon às i get home !
Spark plugs !

Sorry for the monster pic am on my phone :icon_mrgreen: :technical:
Those plugs look perfect to me.
I agree with Leadberry and Snake.
Plugs look good, possibly a little rich at idle.
I have a feeling this is not what you're saying, but just to confirm...

As soon as it fires up, or eventually as it warms it will start idling at 6?

Are you saying you're trying to adjust the idle with the choke on, then turning it off?

Yes as soon as i start the bike ...and yes i adjust it with the choke on let it warm up and then shut it off and ot just dies...then i have to bring up again and am back to square one
Sounds like an air leak to me. Spray starting fluid or carb cleaner around the rubber boots on both sides of the carb with the bike running. If the rpms change, then there is an air leak there and the boots need to reset or replaced.
