Hey everyone, starting a new thread to get some assist with this 'hanging' rev issue I have. I may have found the cause, so to speak, and it is WEIRD.
Please have a read!
(Bike is normal op temp, fast idle is off, idle speed is set @ 1200)
1. I accelerate on the freeway up to 60MPH. White in 6th gear, I pull clutch in. Revs fall down at a decent speed, but then 'hang' at 2000RPM, and do not drop any lower.
2. I continue coasting with the clutch pulled in. I click down into 5th gear position (clutch remains pulled). Nothing changes.
3. I click down into 4th gear, clutch still pulled in. Revs instantly fall to normal idle speed!
4. While STILL coasting, I proceed to click down into each gear, all the way down to 1st, NEVER releasing the clutch. All gears below 4th keep the idle at 1200.
5. Since I'm slowing down quite I bit, I accelerate back up to 70MPH in 4th gear, pull clutch. Revs fall down to normal idle!
6. I click up into 5th gear, clutch remains pulled. Revs surge back up to 2000!
7. I click back down into 4th, clutch still pulled, revs fall back down!
Through this entire process I want to stress that I NEVER release the clutch and NEVER apply throttle (except for when I need to speed back up...I'm on the freeway :-).
What the actual fxck is going on?? Basically, when I click into 5th or 6th, my RPMs automatically go UP from 1200 to 2000, with the damn clutch in! All other gears, revs fall down to normal idle speed when the clutch is pulled. I did this over and over and over (and over) to be absolutely certain. It is always the same. Additionally, sometimes, but not always, when I stop, and put the bike in nuetral, the engine speed increases up to around 1700RPM.
Also worth noting is that in gears 1-4, when I pull the clutch, the engine speed will drop normally, but once the RPM's get to ~1700, there is a noticeable slowdown in deceleration.
Please tell me someone here knows what the heck is going on?!?
