cr125 wont Idle

[blessteve]

I need some help. My 2002 cr125 just started to stall out. It runs fine but wont Idle. I cant not figure out how to turn the idle up. Also when I turn the handle bars the rpm's go up. I ordered a shop manuel from ebay but it is taking forever to get and I would love to go riding this weekend.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

first of all a cr125 (race bike) is not suppost to idle or let be idled. secondly if the throttle goes up when you turnt he bars you probly have a snag somwhere not allowing the line the full lengh there for engaging the throttle the same as twisting the throttle. Or you line could be to short

Well it definitly should not stall when you let off the gas either. And what kinda BS is that . The bike shouldnt Idle cause its a race bike. Yes it should idle.

on the left side of your carb is a screw with a nut on it to lock it, loosen the nut and start it up, might take a turn or two to get it right, dont forget to tighten the nut back up. my bike used to idle higher when i turned right, follow your throttle cable, it might be taking the long way like mine was.

My CR 125 idles just fine. Like was said above the idle screw on the carb just needs some adjustment. Your throttle cable must be hung or your throttle tube is having a problem.

thanks for all your help. Sounds pretty simple now that someone explained to me.

Yeah, while it shouldn't be set to idle as much as a car or an XR, it should at least be able to stay alive when letting off the throttle. Adjust the idle screw :)
