fixitrod Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Like boonman said. If your jetting is correct, your engine should be able to run at any rpm for any period of time. The exception would be a higher rpm than your bearings, pistons, rods, etc... could handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragg-on Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Dont let it Idle too long, no air is cooling the radiator, youll overheat fast. I was told when breaking in a motor and letting it idle, place a fan in front of the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told when breaking in a motor and letting it idle, place a fan in front of the radiator. It depends on what the outside temp is. I have never had my shee overheat when breaking in a new top end. Temp was about 70 degrees outside. I have let it idle for extended periods in temps at 90 degrees.... Not a problem. Put a temp guage in. You will know when it is close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 O.K Boony, We all understand that youre allset for idle.That's great.What about everyone else??? My feeling if youre gonna let it idle, blip the throttle once in a while and cook off some of that oil.Still stock bore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Boony is right on... I let mine idle forever and never overheat or foul plugs...I change my plugs once a year just for the hell of it...I can't understand the rich pilots either...I've tried 27.5 pilots and my shee didn't have as much throttle response, so I went back to stock pilots...Takes 3 half kicks (because of my foot pegs moved back) when cold and one kick when warm to start... BansheeBrian, that is great for Boony, I, and anyone else that has their shee jetted in correctly....Thats all everyone else has to do is take a little time and jet their shee in correctly.....Like Boony said, I have my idle way down so you can hear each side firing through the headers......ping....ping...........ping.....ping..........ping......ping.....I love that sound...I have my own 2-stroke Harley!!!
