Guest DH1900 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 When the engine is started from cold it idles just fine but if I touch the throttle in neutral the revs don't die down below 2500rpm for several seconds. This seems to go away when the bike is ridden but I'm concerned about not being able to stop as it's DCT. It also doesn't go into gear at >2000rpm. Is this a fault or a 'feature'? Link to post
Solution ste7ios 469 Posted January 20, 2014 Solution Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm not sure about the number of RPMs, but every vehicle with a catalytic converter revs up for some minutes to get the catalyst to the proper temperature to do its job... Link to post
Guest DH1900 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks, that makes sense. Damn those great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jellies, wasting my fuel to save on a few grams of NOx. Link to post
wozza 967 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) All bikes generally behave like this on start up and not only ones with cat's. It's perfectly normal. Edited January 20, 2014 by wozza Link to post
prr 153 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 My cars do the same - until the engine is heated up (about 1-2 mins) the idle revs are a bit high. However it's not the case with my current bike (KTM Duke 200). Link to post
