Dl1050 low idle
« on: December 28, 2022, 17:51:16 »

Hello
First issue with my dl1050 , went for a run today stopped for fuel and when started bike idles at 800 rpm for about 10 seconds before going back to normal idle speed
Bike runs fine , carried on and did my journey , ran fine
Got home tested by 3 starts all idling fine
Any ideas ? or hopefully a weird one off ?
Cheers Steve

The fact that you just filled up with fuel might be a clue.

It's possible your bike was passing through its system some contaminated fuel, water maybe..?

If its OK now I wouldn't worry too much.

Hopefully its might have been a bit of water / poor fuel
Bike is used daily and re-filled every week , weather has been really wet and left outside alot of the time
Drain line seems clear , may be some water gets past the cap ?
Got a 100 mile trip tomorrow so hopefully will be OK
Cheers Steve
