what is the normal or average idling speed for most 125cc and 150cc bikes???
Most of these owner manuals list them as 1400-1600 rpm, I also dont undrstand the viability of the range.I take it as 1400rpm is when the engine is cold just after start up and it increases to 1600 rpm maximum when the engine warms up to its operating temperature or higher.Sometimes I am also amazed at the pick up differences these idling rpms make!!!!
For example I rode a Kawasaki Wind 125 a few days ago whose idling rpm was set at 1800 rpms !!!!! and it had very instant and fast pick up and crisp throttle response.
Another instance is that in my Pulsar 180 which does not speed up as fast but just after I start the bike its rpm is tagged around 1200 and the engine seems to have irregular beats with the tacho needle swinging up and coming down,,,,,,it also does have a lot of cold morning start problem.So this thing puts me into confusion............a full on 180cc bike is giving hiccups on abrupt throttle for sprinting while a 125cc is gaining in on like a rocket !!!!!!
Is there something wrong with the idling tune of my bike OR shall I set the idle around 1500 rpm which is in the range of 1400-1600 rpms????????
I seriously need some advice...........................
