Here is what happened. Was idling high at cold idle, so I adjusted the **** to the left, and I think I overdid it.

So once the bike warmed up, it would not stay running. So today I try to adjust it the other way, and the adjust comes out. Spring and washer fall off the bike to the ground. So I have the adjuster, I put the spring on the end of it, and put the washer in. Then I screwed it back into place.

I have my gas tank off so I haven't been able to start the bike yet. I was thinking about changing plugs and stuff. But could this cause the bike to stall and not hold idle? When I tighten it all the way, it doesn't move anything mechanically. Threaded all the way in, or loose, it's all the same, so how does this effect idle? I want to have this totally figured out before I put everything back together. Thanks.

 

counterclockwise = less idle
clockwise = more idle

cold idle? do u mean while it automaticly warms up?
the normal idle should be at 1400 +-100 after 15minutes of riding

I got pissed w/ the lil **** also, mine is pretty hard to twist and the only way you can be sure is when the bike is on while you twist the ****

sparkplugs has nothing to do w/ ur idle
its just to fire up ur engine

 

i think you have have killed it cause at cold idle, it was like up way high and you adjusted it way low...so once it warmed up...it dropped way low and bike died.

 

bike is fixed
