2010 Monster 1100s Idling Problems

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Darrenvn, Jan 31, 2016.

  1. Hi guys, my bike was running perfectly then suddenly the idling speed dropped to 800-900rpm and the bike was stalling, had to keep it revving to get it home. When I shut it off and restarted, a twist of the throttle gets it stuck at 3000/3500 for 5 seconds or so then it drops back to normal - took it for a short ride and it keeps sticking at the higher revs. Any idea what could cause this?

    Thanks!
     
  2. Idle control valve
     
  3. Thanks Chris, would this usually result in replacement or just an adjustment? My bike is a grey import here so spares are limited, but I am travelling overseas this week and could pick up whatever I need.
     
  4. Try flushing it through with carb cleaner. They gum up. You will find it on the throttle bodies.
     
  5. Much appreciated, thanks.
