Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the sport bike world so I don't know if this is a common issue or not, but sometimes when I'm cruising, say 50mph or higher, if I pull the clutch in and let the rpm's drop to idle it will drop to low and kill the engine, what could be the cause of that and how could I fix it?
It would help a lot to know what year the bike is, what mileage it has, if there are any modifications to it ('performance' parts), what sort of maintenance history it has......
Its an 01 zx6r, it has just over 17k miles on it and as far as i know there are no mods or performance parts on it. Im beginning to think it might be the pilot jet maby? when I go to adjust the rpm idle, just the smallest turn and it will spike up to like 2500-3000rpm. also alot of times if im stopped at a red lite or stop sign i can rev it and the rpm's will stick around that same range (2500-3000).
More than likely a carb problem. I would start by taking the carbs off and giving them a thorough cleaning. After your done cleaning make sure the floats are adjusted properly. If you can, with a friends tool maybe? you could see if they are all synched together.
Run it and see what happens
