2008 kawasaki 250R owners only.what ur idle rpm average?

Question

mine idles at 2rpms i think averaging it should b lower shouldn't it

Answer 1

Don't own a 250R but I have a Honda CM250 (not a street bike but still) and the idle RPM's is about 1000-1100. But considering you have to really rev the Kawasaki to get in the powerband it might be set higher than normal on purpose.

Answer 2

mines less than 1000. your idle could be too high or you could have gotten bad gas.

Answer 3

it should be idling right about 1000.

There's a small plastic thumbscrew on the left-hand side of the bike that you can use to adjust the idle speed. There's a pic of where its at exactly in the owners manual.

Answer 4

I am not an owner but I am a tech who frequently works on them and I can say your idle is too high.  They are supposed to be around 1300 rpm.  There is an adjuster k**b which you can use to adjust the idle.
