RD250LC Question

Post by pkay »

Got all my bodywork back from the painter last week and reassembled the beast after 14months off the road. Now to sort the running so a couple of questions.

Firstly seems very smokey even though the lube pump is on the correct setting, any ideas?

Secondly when it starts she goes straight to 5,000 plus rpm even though th throttle is shut off and nothing appears stuck. I even screwed the idle screws right in and didn't make a difference.

All suggestions appreciated.

Make sure all the cables are seated fully in the junction box.

check the slides are all the way down, sounds like they are up, if its not that then you have an airleak.
