Check the vac lines going to the fast idle assy between the ign coils.It sounds like the solenoid is not working properly.I would also check for any vac leaks.

 

Mine does that too when its cold, but runs normal when it is warm.. From what i have gathered from this 4m it is quite normal for it to stall when cold...So i don't think there is anything to worry about. Just wait till its warm.

 

My bike has never stalled when cold.. Ever... I keep my idle at 900-1000

 

My bike has never stalled when cold and my idle is at 800rpms. I wouldn't recommend going any lower than 800rpms, due to lubricaiton issues for the engine at idle.

If your bike is stalling, something isn't right...you should figure it out before it becomes a real problem...I do NOT think it is normal at all.

It is a commonly reported problem on this forum for people to have their idle set too low, or their clutch cable out of adjustment...but I would not say that it is common to have the bike stall when cold.

Chris.

 

mine does that too if it is not warm. nothing to worry about.

 

I just read this in my manual last night, yamaha says to synchronize the throttle bodies first, then let your bike warm up, then adjust your idle between 800 & 900 rpm's and I'm guessing you should be OK. I've got 12,000 on mine and it still stalls when cold. I think that synch is my next assignment!

 

thats normal, especially if the bike is new and doesn't have many miles, problem will go away with time

 

Adjust your clutch cable...Mine did it because there was a slight bit of drag from the clutch and it would cause a cold engine to stall. details on clutch free play are in the owners manual.

 

What everbody said and mine does it sometimes. When I am going to ride the first thing I do is pull the bike outside and start it up. By the time I wipe the dust of the tank and fenders, put on my helment and jacket she is usually good and warm.

 

sounds normall to me. Same thing here, just remember to blip the throttle at the first stop sign and all is well.

 

Same here!

 

Thanks for the input fellas. I'm gonna weigh in and say this isn't normal. My bike has about 7500 miles on it and this started in the last 1000 miles or so.

I'll check the vacuum lines, clutch cable and throttle body sync and let you know if any of this helps.

Thanks again.

 

Same hear , I jsut start it before I but my gear on and it helps, I think condrons might be onto something to becuse I was probably 2 finger clutching it the time it did it, and I can feel I need a touch taken up on the free play. check the free play and just let her warm up another minute shold do it, and do what Dice said - I know my neighbors appreciate it[/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]

 

I know you said you adjusted your idle, but you never said what it was set at. I keep mine between 900 and 1100. 800 to 900 is borderline to low. The Warrior will actually start throwing up error codes if set to low for to long.

What's your start up routine? How long do you let it run? The Warrior doesn't need all that long of a warmup. But even after 4 years and 20k miles, mine will stall if I run it less than a minute, then get on it and come to a stop before it has warmed up.

 

I didn't realize 800-900 was too low....darn.

I guess I will raise mine up a little...but I LOVE the sound of the low idle with my samsons...

Darn it all...

Chris

 

Sangathor....

I just double checked the Yamaha Service Manual for the Warrior and the proper idle speed is listed as 850-950RPM.

I'm not calling your wisdom into question...but I am curious to know why you believe that the 800-900 range is too low?

The Service manual also specifies 110ft*lbs for the pulley nut...so we know to take some things with a grain of salt...lol...

Best Regards.

Chris.

Yeah, I know what the service manual says. It also tells you to drain your oil from the wrong place. And to ride like an old lady when you're breaking it in. And we all know that's wrong. [/emoticons/emotion-1.gif]

I'm just telling you what I know from my experience how my warrior runs best and from what I've read on this forum over the last 4 years. When I set mine below 900 I get stuttering and stalling issues that don't happen at a higher idle. Play around with it and find your own setting for your own bike. Keeping in mind that to low of an idle will cause your bike to give an Error code 37. See archived post here: http://www.rswarrior.com/forums/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=1927&SearchTerms=idle,low,error,code

 

also when changing your idle, do it with a hot motor

 

"It also tells you to drain your oil from the wrong place. And to ride like an old lady when you're breaking it in."

ROTF...LOL....

That almost made soda come out of my nose....

Thanks for the info...I will bump up my idle as soon as I get home after work, just to be on the safe side. I certainly don't want to have any lube issues with my engine! (or see that annoying code 37).

Again, thanks for the link and info.

Chris.

 

This happens when you pull in the clutch. What else is going on just prior to and at that time? e.g. "sitting at idle with bike in neutral"; "coasting to a stop w/bike in gear"; "snapped throttle shut and pulled in the clutch coming to corner"... that kind of thing. The ECU is trying to fuel and time the spark based on a bunch of sensors. It adds fuel for a cold engine and for starting. Maybe the temp sensor is malfunctioning at cold temperatures. The shop manual describes how to test it. Good Luck,

 

I agree if it is doing it once it is nin gear i'd check the clutch

 

Sounds like the LCV may be plumbed wrong. Its supposed to help keep the motor running when the bikes cold. Its also easy to mess it up when you're installing BAK being right there.

 

My 03 has been doing that since shortly after I got it. Now has 35,000 kms. I just blip it at 1st couple of stops and all is fine. Otherwise it runs like a dream.

Yep, me too.
It does do this worse after the AIS removal. My idle is roughfly 900rpm warm. I just give it a tiny amount of throttle when costing to a stop (when cold).
I like the way the bike shakes at this idle speed.

 

My idle is at 800 and it stalled a lot after the AIS block off. It was getting a little aggravating, I searched the forum and decided it was "normal". Then about 500 miles ago, I installed the V-BAK (chruchkey) and the PCIII (amspro map) and it has not done it since.

 

This is great... signed on to check out this exact issue.
Mine's a week old 06 Midnight with about 450 miles on it. And 3 times now it's stalled. And every time it's been cold with little warm up time and I was just down the block comming to a stop as I pulled the clutch in with it in gear coasting to a stop. Starts, no problem and runs great after that. If I give it a little time... witch I'll do as a matter of Habit now, She's fine.
