2006 Vstar 650 Engine rev's when comming to a stop or pull clutch in



Hello, All

I have a 2006 Vstar 650 that has about 1200 miles on it
and has been running real good as far as power,performance and speed.
The main problem is it has a tendancy to rev after about 15 to 20 mins
of highway speed 50 to 55 mph when comming to a stop or trying to slow
down. I have checked the choke all is ok and its not on at the time
when its reving. If I hold it in a higher gear till the engine is
forced to slow down it will and all is fine however it annoying. Has
any one else had this kind of an issue? I checked the carb sync and
its in spec and the idle rpms are set to the book spec.

Thanks Mike
Albrecht

Hello, and thanks for your reply. I have heard that the "Pilot Jet"
causes this error also is that the same one that your talking about?
"Pilot jet", "slow jet", and "idle jet" are the same thing in most
carburetors.

But the jet itself cannot be blamed for getting plugged up with gum and
varnish, nor can it be blamed for what amateur tuners capriciously do with
the idle mixture screws due to their lack of understanding about how the idle
mixture circuit works.
Thanks Albrecht , I cleaned the carbs and she runs fine
