Chr1s Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hello again, Can some one help, when starting the bike ticks over quite nicely at about 7-8000 but as soon as she warms up its ticking over at 15-17000, i know the bike is 15 yrs old and the carbs may be a little "used" but is there anything i can do to help cure this? Thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Nothing to do with them being old really Chris it's just a matter of adjustment, either do it yourself or take it down to your local bike shop and they will do it for about £30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted March 20, 2014 Moderator Share Posted March 20, 2014 sounds like an air leak to me,inlets could be cracked or carbs need ultra sonically cleaned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chr1s Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Blackhat. With what the previous owner had done to the bike it wouldn't surprise me if he trie to MotoGP it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1949 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Chris, I've got an XJ600S Diversion (2000) and it ticks over at 1200 rpm on idle. In fifth gear when "going for it" I can get up to 6000 - 7000 rpm but when in top (sixth gear) it cruises at 4500 rpm at 60 mph. Hope this helps. Just checked, my rev counter only goes up to 11,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
