Hi, posted this on UK Mon with no response...

'01 M600 when started cold, fires straight up, and seem's to rev hard when on choke, try to back the choke off, the engine then struggles to idle till warm, or rev's high with choke.

Before fully warm the bike has a low speed 'stumble' when pulling away, this is noticable, to a lesser degree when fully warm too.

The bike is totally standard.

Is there any way to fine tune the jetting to eliminate this?
I'm thinking maybe pilot screw's, how many turns out are they as st'd?
Are they a bit rich or lean as st'd?

Any help appreciated.
Regards Phil

Not sure if this will work with the monnie 600, but you couold try a smaller front sprocket. This smooths out the jerkyness on the 748/9** series

Hi, I've got a smaller sprocket fitted, which as you say help's.

The bike still suffers from a 'stumble' just off throttle tho.

You could back the pilots out abit, stumble is usually indicative of a lean condition.

Also, how many miles/kms ?

[snagger]

Bike has only done 5500mls, everything is stock.

I was figuring it may be a tad lean by the temperemental cold running.

Do you know how many turns out the pilot screws are as standard?
Just so I have a base to work from (tried one screw, think it was about 3 turns to fully seated)

Thanx, Regards
Phil

You need a stage 2 dynojet kit & hi-flow air filter
The transformation to low speed pick-up is phenomenal

Adjust the pilot screws to 6 turns out IMMEDIATELY !!!
You will def get a smoother running bike, cos the std settings are WAY too lean.

Ahem, is that SIX turn's out!!!!
Is there that much threading....

What about the midrange, is there a benefit from lifting the needle's too?

Six turns....

Thanx, Phil

Six turns (recurring)
