idle set

[muddin]

can any body tell me how i can set the idle on my cr 250

I think on the '89 you have to turn the choke clockwise and the idle will go up. Honda had it in the choke that year. By turning in the choke, I believe it richens the mixture and raises the idle. BTW, turning it countewrclockwise lowers the idle.

i set my idle by ear then ride it and see how it idles in gear.

thanks i will have to try that :cool:

Definately set it by ear and then ride it. You don't want it so low that it stalls in a turn and you don't want it too high so that it pulls you through turns. That is how I set it. Nothing magic about it.

Idle on a 86 KD 80

Just so I don't have to start a new thread, can anyone tell me how to set the idle on an 86 kd 80?

That is probably a screw on the side of the carb. It will usually have an externally visible spring.
