    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Revs Up when Starts Running

As soon as I start running, or even when I roll on the throtle with the byke standing, the revs go up to 2500 to 3000. I adjust the idle screw to 1200-1500 revs and as soon as I roll on again the revs go up. This can go on and on : idle screw back- roll on-revs up and back to the idle screw.
The throtle cable and choke cable appear to be in good shape and not stuck.
Any Ideas? Thanks for any help.
 
John I am trying to understand your post.

I had a problem where I would take the bike off the sidestand, and the Revs would jump up to about 2500.

My problem wasn't the condition of the Cables, but the ROUTING of them.

Watch your Throttle cable(s) as you move you handlebars from full left LOCK to full right LOCK, and see if the cables ever get tight.
If they do get tight I would reroute it (them).

Good Luck,
Ron
 
I had the same problem with my GS1100L. I would take it around the block and when I pulled the clutch lever in to take that first corner the revs would go up. I played with the idle adjustment but that was not it. I removed, cleaned (spray choke cleaner) and synched the carbs as best I could a couple of times and still had trouble. I finally threw in the towel and took it to a reputable shop. They "professionally" cleaned, synched and adjusted the carbs and it runs like a top. Cost - $280. I don't know what I was missing but I needed the bike for a 3500 mile trip and was glad I took it in.
 
Also concider an airboot leak, lean mixture conditions create irratic idling, and high idle and if you havn't messed with anything latly(mods). Possiblly an airleak somewhere...-darren
