I have had a problem with the RPM at Idle, reving too high. I had been able to adjust the throttle to compensate but recently it got worse, to the point of idling at 2000+ rpm. Bit had engine braking down grassy hill sides!

On a recent ride the other day, I got home and heard a hissing noise coming from under the tank. On investigation I found that the Rubber flange had been knocked off the Inlet stub and split. This must have happened when the bike had it's accident, but I hadn't noticed it way up under there.

So after removing the tank, I was able to glue it back together as a temporary fix, but I have ordered a replacement to swap out later.

While I was under there I checked the tappets, which were a bit too open, so adjusted them.

Not looking forward to having to take the tank off again but at least it will fix the problem long term. The engine is running much better now.
