saska21 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 My bike stalls when idling even with hot engine, so I have to keep increasing the revs a bit when stationary. I tried to turn the throttle stop screw a tiny bit to remedy this but it won't turn. I didn't manage to look under the rubber protective thingy but it feels like as if it was corroded. Is there any way to get the existing screw to work or do I need to change it? If the latter, how do I go about it? Is it difficult and should I take it to a garage instead?

Try adjusting the idle screw, left side of the bike, should have a round plastic knob on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neversaydie Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Left hand side of the engine as you sit on the bike, between the 2 cyclinders, about halfway down, on a little bracket, should be the screw. If its seized, try a little relaease oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
