Hi All,
My idle is behaving very strangely and I could use some help. Let's start with saying the bike is stock save the audiovox cruise I put on 3 years ago. It worked fine for 2 years, then stopped. The bike wouldn't hold a low idle. Took it apart, found a kink in the vacuum manifold to the MAP sensor. While I had it apart, I blew out all the vac manifold lines, inspected them, and ensured they were correctly reinstalled according to the service manual. Problem solved, or so I thought. Low idle is solid at 1000 mas/menos 100, sometimes. This brings me to my current issue. When cold or just started, the idle is perfect. When hot, it wants to idle at 3500. Here's where it gets strange. If I "ride it down" to 1000 rpm, 90% of the time it will stay there. If I pull in the clutch at any other rpm, it races to 3500. Yes, this built in cruise is nice when just coasting around. But, it sucks at every stop light and will eat up my brake pads. I've got to get it to come down. Cruise still won't set or hold speed either.
Put 1869 on it and rode the tail of the dragon last weekend. That's my way of saying she seems otherwise just fine. Your expert advice is appreciated. Anything short of a cylinder hone or turning a crank journal I can usually handle. Thanks in advance.
