anyone else have this issue, or have an idea what it could be? I'm trying to work out the bugs on my bike.
it idles OK when cold, but after a couple km, when I'm stuck at a light, even in neutral, i have to rev the throttle a bit so it doesnt stall, the longer I'm sitting there, the worse it gets...my idle is at about 1.5...

Re: T500 bogged down when idling
I have some air in the oil lines farthest from the pump... maybe this could be the issue?

Re: T500 bogged down when idling
I doubt the oil line issue is anything to do with it....though you need to address that sooner than later.....is the bike in stock trim?

Re: T500 bogged down when idling
Has the bike got standard exhausts, air filter, Overbore on the engine etc.?

Re: T500 bogged down when idling
Have you tried adjusting the mixture screws at all?
