Liverpool87 Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 Hi guys I've got a 2008 ybr 125 carb model which has had a replacement engine, which was injection but had a carb manifold to. I found out it should be idling at 1300 to 1400 rpm, mine is idling at 2000. It sounds fine, but if I adjust the idle to lower than 1900 it starts to struggle, but will still rev responsively. Is this something I shouldbworry about or is it ok to have my idle set at 1900 to 2000? A friend said that the rev counter isn't 100 percent accurete and it sounded fine, but I want to be sure Quote
TimR Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 The engines may have different ecus and sensors for the carb and injection models . You may have to find the relevant sensors to swap over from the old engine Quote
Stu Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 Or the tacho could be over reading I have had a bike once that would occasionally show double the revs on the tacho Quote
Liverpool87 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Posted May 28, 2017 I was beginning to think that. Would there be any way to check the revs accurately? Quote
Mr Fro Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 I was beginning to think that. Would there be any way to check the revs accurately?You can see if your garage has a reader for the ECU or use a timing strobe on the HT lead.You can also check it with a multi-meter - some Fluke units will do it but they're £.
