lately my 00 Kat 750 has been experiencing some idle issues.
first, when warm she is only idling at about 900 rpm
also, the idle at higher rpms jumps all around (surges). if I hold the trottle open the idle will vary about 500 rpms. I can feel this surging while riding.
How do you adjust the engine idle? I know about the engine speed adjustment screw. this screw is already turned to its higest point. I cannot turn it up any higher. I dont think this is good and would like to turn in down and then adjust the carbs somehow to bring the idle to the normal 1200rpms. that way I would have some room for adjustment on the engine speed screw.
how would I do this? In fact, until I can re-adjust the engine speed screw, I cannot even sync my carbs since I need about 1750 rpm to do that.
I just replaced the oil, plugs, airfilter. I know it is time for a valve adjustment and carb sync. could this be causing my issues?
the old plugs looked good when I pulled them. no signs of either running rich or lean.
