Yz 125 ?

[stevied125]

Have 2005 YZ 125 and after running it really hard for a little while and I stop I really have to concentrate on keeping the revvs up or it will stall on me. Is this normal?

 

[stevensj2]

I just got a 2000 yz 125 last night and noticed the same.

Either we've got the same problem, or it's normal. My guess is that it is normal, but I'm "new" so that is not a conclusive opinion :)

When you say you stop and have to keep the revs up, do you mean when you're idling and just sitting on the bike in neutral / with the clutch in?

I am talking about after riding for a while really hard. Then stopping and putting the bike in neutral to talk with riding buddies, etc. We do a lot of trail and dirt road riding. Sunday we rode for a while on a track beside my house then went out and road some dirt farm roads. After drag racing a friend on a 2001 YZ125 we stopped to talk about the race and i had to keep blipping the throttle more than normal, or so it seemed. Or it would quit on me :think:

Your idle adjustment screw is probably adjusted wrong. Change it to make your bike idle a little bit higher. THat should help... you can find the instruction for that in the manual. Im not sure if the YZs have Keihins or Mikunis, so the screws are in different places depending on the carb.

Yamahas have keihins

My 2003 YZ 125 has a Mikuni. Just some insight.

i have the 06 yz125 and i also notice that if i stop in like 1st gear and just idling that it usually stalls if i dont rev it a little, its go to be normal because theres nothing wrong with my bike

I own a 99 yz 125, when it is hot after running hard, it doesn't want to idle very well even in neutral. I always figured it to be my lame attempts at jetting but this sounds like a common problem.

on my suzuki, i had that problem for a while until i adjusted the idle control and now its fine. just put it up a little higher, it won't hurt the bike.

mine did it until i set the rev higher. no problems now its just annoying sometimes because it revs higher i like the lower rev at idle.

[Rideblue4ever]
