What should the idle RPM be on a motorcycle?
A healthy RPM for most motorcycles should be between 700 RPM’s – 1,000 RPM’s. Some motorcycles are a little different from each other, so be sure to check your owner’s manual to make sure. But usually you can tell by how it sounds. Any idle higher than 1,500 RPM’s is considered high and should be adjusted.
Why does my motorcycle go back to idle when I let go?
If there is one, adjust it to ensure your throttle has all the space it needs to twist back and forth without any obstruction. If you have a carburetor, there is a spring that is pulled on it when the throttle is twisted. This is used to spring back the throttle into the idle position when it is let go or released.
Why does my bike not rev to higher RPMs?
Since you cannot go above 1300 rpm, that rules out your TCI ignition not advancing, as a cause of your problem. This points to the carbs as likely suspects. You said the bike sat for a year. When was the last known time that you were able to rev the engine to higher rpms?
How can I tell if my motorcycle is lean?
Extremely lean motors can also stall out completely when given some light throttle. Another sign of lean running is the “hunting idle” where the motorcycle revs up randomly, changes RPMs, or takes forever to come down to idle. First, start simple and look for a loose or open vacuum hose.
Is it bad to rev your motorcycle engine?
When you start it up, you have to rev up the motorcycle a little bit. It’s usually not necessary to go full throttle when you first start it. Once the engine has been warmed up, motorcycles will idle by themselves much easier and they can run a lot better once you go out for a ride.

How is the idle level of a motorcycle controlled?
The same system is used on the first generations of fuel injected motorcycle engines. On the newer fuel injection systems, the throttle valve is controlled but a small stepper engine, and it is the fuel injection ECU (a computer) that is controlling the idle level.
Why does my bike Rev when I release the throttle?
It sounds like the carb slide or cable is sticking IMO,as said above. Its so strange because when I release the throttle it just goes back into place, I also tryed usng the throttle cable on other bike. I also adjusted the throttle wire tension barrel thing and put it all the way down (least tightest).
