Revs Sticking and Idling Too High On My Aprilia RS125


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just took my RS out for the first time, and the revs were sticking from 2.5k - 4k once it has been revved.


And now everytime I start it the revs raise up to 3k even before I touch the throttle.


Also if anyone has experience of the RS, mine seems to have not one bit of power until above 6k rpm, and after that the front end just lifts up.

So, when u turn it on, it goes straight to 3k? Has it always done that? Its easy to turn down the idle range, just a little screw on the side of the carb.


And yes, thats how the RS performs, 6k is when it hits the powerband (like a turbo or supercharger on a car).

It was idling at 1.2k before. I think I may have knocked something loose on the airbox when I took the seat off earlier.


Could be a simple air leak, but obviously don't want to mess with a powerful 2 stroke incase I pink it.
