Big singles need a slightly higher tickover than most bikes or they are prone to a cough/stall especially when coming to a stop . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Isn’t there some sort of air box mod to cure this, I read it somewhere I’m sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YamaHead Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Another possibility is that it's suckin' air somewhere.... @ 1 point I had reseal the intake boot between the carb & the cylinder head. A thin film of Permatex Ultra Black sealant cured the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 If it is injected it will have a MAP sensor, remove that and clean it out, I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the issue, with it being a single if the MAP sensor is gunged up then it will likely run full lean on decelerating and shut the ignition down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree , I've adjusted the tickover on mine with that screw and it worked fine. I know in USA you have drill out a lock screw in some bikes as they are factory set but it's not the same on UK bikes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know it's a single cylinder and all he's doing is making it tick over faster that doesn't upset anything. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been out on it for half an hour/40 mins and it didn’t do it , hopefully adjusting tick over has helped … 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
