Radian revs to high

[james1985]

When in neutral or holding the clutch in the revs are high, any ideas as to what might be causing this? Also there is smoke coming out of the join between the exhaust and engine, the smoke doesn't smell like it is burning, is it just burning crap off the exhaust or is it something else?

Cheers

Tickover speed should be approx 1300rpm, look at the rev counter, whats it showing

Are you saying that the rpm increases when you pull in the clutch? Does rpm change when you turn the bars? If so, throttle cable reqs adjusting. Tickover is adjustable on the throttle stop screw

Which join, there are 4, is it just leaking at one or all four?

There is a seal ring between the cylinder head and the pipes, could be that the flange nuts are loose, try tighteningn them, 10mm spanner, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN or you'll have major problems, 10Nm, no more

smoke mainly coming out of the middle right joint.

Yeah rpm increases when I pull in the clutch.

So, check the securing nuts for tightness then

Check the adjustment of the clutch, check the oil level is correct, half way up the window

How long have you had the bike, when was it last serviced?
