[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1141484, member: 9096"] check your throttle cables that they move freely and have slack when you aren't on the gas. I'm not very familiar with them, are they fuel injected? IF it's injected, check the engine temp signal, it might be thinking it's cold and fast idling it,.. if it's a carb, there'd gotta be an idle adjustment somewhere! As for the gears grinding, on my bike I found that too heavy a crankcase oil on a wet clutch will make it drag, again, there's cables and stuff that may need adjustment too. Bike seems to do much better with 10W30 than 15W40 for the clutch. It was at the point you couldn't get it into neutral unless you were rolling, and it's still a bit finnicky now, but better. If it really only has 300 hours, I can't imagine much wrong inside, but one cause on OLDER machines is that the clutch basket gets grooves worn into it from the discs, and it causes them not to want to separate... (on a multi disc wet clutch at least) [/QUOTE]
