[QUOTE="dezzy13, post: 1182630, member: 67125"] I'm thinking of adjusting my bike's idle and I'm looking for opinions on whether I should bother with it or not. It's a '01 CR250R and when I bought it from the previous owner, he had the idle set to his preference. The thing is, when the bike is running, you have to hold the throttle open just a tiny bit for it to stay running. If you take your hand off the grip and the throttle snaps shut, the engine immediately dies. Then I have to kick start it again; the whole nine. It's normally not a problem but sometimes when I just want to take my hand off the grip for a couple of seconds to do something like adjust my goggles before riding off again, it sucks to have the engine die. Also, I'm a relatively new rider and haven't yet started to jump at the track, but it concerns me with my bike dying so quickly without any gas being applied. Is is going to die when I go over a jump??? I'm not looking for the engine to maintain a continuous idle, but if it could idle for maybe 4 seconds or so before dying, that would be great. [B]Any advice???[/B] :cool: Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
