    Hey, usually my 2KR starts fine,
    but every now and then it goes weird and idles super low
    and i have to keep twisting the throttle just to keep it alive,
    Has anyone ever experienced this? Its really weird and SUPER
    annoying and it takes me like 10 mins to get going, which is bad when you gotta go sumwhere or
    embarrasing when ur on a ride and all ya mates take off and your bike is just sitting there doing
    about 20 rpm at full throttle..........the end

    Perhaps check your valve settings, might be getting a little too tight when the engine gets warm. Post in "Got a problem" next time to get a quicker answer

    That problem seems to still be happening,
    could it be a fuel issue? I have checked the plugs and they seem fine.
    I'm not game to check the valves, i dont know enough about the mechanics
    of the bike to do all that.

    Sounds like fuel starvation to me.

    Tank been cleaned out? ....could be full of rust and crud
    Petcock filters clean?
    Inline filter new?
    Fuel lines in good shape?
    Tank breather working? ....when it wont rev next time open the fuel cap.

    Air filter clean?

    Plug leads and caps been looked at?
    Carbys been overhauled and synced?
    Do u have the EXUP on yours?

    I would rather get rid of it and get a R6 or CBR600RR
    and do some of these <!-- s:biker4: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/th_Biker_4.gif" alt=":biker4:" title="Biker 4" /><!-- s:biker4: --> and then look at the bike and dance like a <!-- s:dban: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/th_Dancing_Bananna.gif" alt=":dban:" title="dancing bananna" /><!-- s:dban: -->
