Q&A: Why does my katana 600 idle higher when the engine gets warm?
Query by Ag_2008: Why does my katana 600 idle substantial when the engine will get warm?
I have a 2001 katana 600 with four,600 miles. It runs excellent. Even so, it idles at 1k rpm when cool and commencing out, but the more time i drive or the hotter the motor will get the higher it will idle. The greatest it will get is about 3k rpm.
It did sit for two months not becoming run, but soon after those two months I drove it often for a month and by no means had this difficulty. So if varnishing is the lead to, I never see why it does this now and not when I 1st took it out of storage. I am the 2nd operator of the bicycle and I have put the previous 600 miles on it. I am arranging on swapping the spark plugs sometime this full week.
Any support is a lot appreciated! Thank you!

I would think the float valves would be sticking if the bike sat unused for any duration of time. If you hadn’t drained the carbs and the fuel lines of all gasoline, or overlook to use a fuel stabilizer, the odds are excellent that it was the old fuel that is causing your existing troubles. It may possibly be that it took a although for the old fuel to operate into the carb’s primary jets. You may need to disassemble the carbs to thoroughly clean them effectively. Ask a motorcycle jobber for their viewpoint before heading gung ho with it.

its one of two problems
1. Did you turn the choke off? Sorry I have to ask.
2. You have a intake leak. Take it to someone you trust (Mechanic) and have them fix it for you.
’cause it wants to go faster man. It’s a crotch rocket. take it out and show it whose boss. You’re Invincible!
