dropped while idling

now the idle is all over the place and sounds like it is going to die and runs slightly rough, any ideas?

Crud knocked loose inside of carb(s)?

[Billy Ricks]

Just try running it a while. Oil got forced into the cylinders and gas slopped around in the carbs and into the intakes. It may take a minute or two to burn everything off. If it fell on the right side the ignition cover didn't take a hit did it?

it did, but there is no dent, the suzuki cover just fell off. Now its abit harder to start and the idle will be around 1100 at first, but then if left alone on the driveway, will randomly jump to 3-4k and back down and then settle, and continue this until it eventually dies.

and carbs are cleaned out, i have ridden it a bit since then and it seems to be going away little by little, its just i dont like having the feeling that its going to die everytime i have to come to a stop

Check the intake boots and see if they developed any separations in them. Did the air box side boots come off the carbs?

[Billy Ricks]

If you didn't do any damage to the ignition and the carb boots are all fine check the plugs, especially number 4. If it was running on it's side oil may have pumped past the rings and fouled that plug. That wouldn't explain the rise in rpm though. Could be a stuck float but that should result in a puddle under the bike.

[denton550]

no boots came off and there doesnt appear to be any air leaks, all gaskets and rings have been recently replaced.
im going to check the plugs when i get home, they are the only thing i have not checked yet, that and i need to do a valve check and carb sync, but currently lack the tools to do so at the moment. an y more suggestion would be helpful

You might try loosening and then moving your throttle assembly around a bit. If it fell over on the right side, it might've jammed the throttle assembly too far onto the bar.

I've been running it a while today and the problem seems to have gone away, now i just have to deal with the battery draining as i ride and it will be 100%

On your electrical problem go through the Stator Papers. Check your grounds and every connection on the bike.

It seems that after inspection, my ground cable to the RR was not properly connected to anything, I hope that fixes the problem

That would be a problem. Maybe not the only one but certainly a big one. If it does start charging take the time to go through all the connections and clean and tighten them. Maybe even use one of the pastes that prevent oxidation when reconnecting everything. It will make your electrical system's life much easier.

ive riden it quite a bit since fixing the ground wire and have had no faults with the bike or idle since.
