[quote=Capt65;71918]Good Morning all,
I have a new 07 I just bought Saturday and the other day I was riding and took off and shifting from I think 1-2 it died? Ran the next day no problem. Now last night when I got home I took her out and it did it several times while shifting? I am taking her back to the dealer this am and let them know, but just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem. I am thinking the idel is set to low or at least hoping that is the problem. Thanks ahead of time for viewing and posting anything you might know about this.
You are quite correct regarding the idle speed. If the idle speed is less than 900 rpm, the 14 will just shut down. The specs call for the idle to be between 1050 and 1150 rpm. It is very easy to adjust...look in your owner's manual for a description of the task. I have my 14 set for just under 1000 rpm...a little lower to ease the "klunk" when shifting into first gear from neutral at a stop. Start your bike and let it warm up normally...when it idles down, then adjust the idle with the idle screw as indicated in your manual, BUT be aware that if your idle is too low...the motor will shut down and you will have to adjust the idle with the engine NOT running. Let us know what you find. Rock
