off idle
Posted: Sun Oct 08, 2000 6:25 pm
I'm going nuts trying to cure this off-idle problem on my 98 KLR. Here's the
symptom: the transition from a closed throttle position to a slightly open
throttle (say 1/8 throttle) is very abrupt. Like turning a switch on and
off. This makes it quite tricky to use engine braking descending a hill as
the bike wants to lurch forward when I re-apply the throttle. Likewise,
rolling the throttle completely off is like hitting the kill switch.
The bike has stock exhaust with K&N. Dynojet needle on the third clip.
Mixture screw out 2 1/2 turns. I've gone all the way down on the clip and
have set the mixture screw as much as 3 turns out (maximum recommended by
Dynojet) and the symtom remains. The bike otherwise pulls strong as the
throttle is opened up.
Any suggestions or should I just try and live with this?
