Just curious.
Bike is a pre 98 Kat 600.
- Stock air filter / airbox
- Stock carbs no jet kit
- Good plugs
Symptom: Bike is very cold natured. Will start right up with 3/4 - full choke. After 30 seconds or so, idle will climb. Reduce choke to keep bike running around 2K. After about 2 minutes or so, if you turn off choke, you can hop on and ride, but for the first few minutes, at a stop, bike idles very low, and usually needs assistance to keep running. After that bike idles fine. Not 'rock solid' but pretty steady...around 1300-1500 RPM.
Bike runs VERY WELL beside the idle issue. No flat spots etc,
Pilot screws are at 2.25 turns out. Stock jetting.
Adding an ignition advancer seemed to help the bike get warmer quicker, but idle issue has stayed pretty much the same.
What could cause this?
Ready.......begin.......
