    FX450 Off idle sputtering. HELP!

    I'm new to both Husabergs and fuel injected bikes. Point me in the right direction. I just bought a 2010 FX450. It had a new fuel pump installed last year. It runs fine at high rpm, but when I blip the throttle off idle, the engine sputters and dies. If this were a carb bike, I'd start by...

    bit rough a hair above idle (which area to adjust?)

    So I have a 2006 KTM 250sxf w/ fcr carb. The bike idles well, starts easy, has great throttle response, no bog. The only problem is when I'm putting around with no real load/no acceleration say 1-2 gear with the throttle rolled just above idle it sounds a bit rough. How should i go about...

    05 fe 650 - Terrible knocking noise when cold or low idle??

    Here is a short vid of a very pronounced knocking noise coming from my 05 fe 650. It is really noticeable on cold startup, low idle, and shutdown. The bike idles around 1500, and if I run it up to 2000 the noise abates. It always occurs on shutdown just before the motor comes to rest. The...

    2011 FE390 - Idle speed adjustment?

    Hi guys, I picked up a brand new 390 several weeks ago and have been finding that after 10 minutes of riding (once fully warmed up?) the idle is much much faster than it normally is after starting. I have identified the idle speed adjustment knob and confirmed it's not pulled out. Also, i did...

    '10 FE 390 Idle Issue

    I just had a major rebuild done on my bike and after assembly, it starts and runs fine with the idle speed adjustment screw pulled out, but immediately dies when it is pushed in. Before the blow up, the bike started flawlessly every time with no need to pull out the screw. I can get the bike...

    I have a 2011 Fe570s with a FMF slip on and JD jetting. No matter what the setting on the JD it back fires when the throttle is released also the idle fluctuates. I am at 3500 ft elevation in South Dakota. Before I did the JD Jetting and the slip on It really backfired because of being to...

    Can I let my bike idle?

    I have a 98 fc501 I supermoto'd. I was reading the manual and it said that the engine can't idle for more than a minute or catastrophic engine failure could occur. So far I've just been revving it every 5 secs or so when I'm at a stoplight. Anybody know anything about this?
