Can you guys help me out? I started my bike last night and this morning and when it is started and warming up the rpm goes from 2 to 3 without me messing with the throttle. What does that mean? what should i do?

RE: HELP!

let her warm up to at least 120 degrees before you throw your leg over. letting her get up to around 160-170 is probably better but, 120 at least.

RE: HELP!

If it's running @ 2-3k rpms when first started, yes that's normal.
Engine speed will godown to idle (1,300-1,500 rpm) after engine warms up.
If it stays at 2-3k rpms all the time that isn't right and you might have to adjust the idle by turning idle adjust **** on left side of bike near gearshifter.
Keep us posted if that's not the case!
