The specific idle speed of a motorcycle can vary depending on the make, model, and engine specifications. However, as a general guideline, a high idle on a motorcycle is typically considered to be when the engine is idling at a significantly higher RPM (revolutions per minute) than its normal idle speed.
Most motorcycles have a specified idle speed range provided by the manufacturer, which is usually around 1000 to 1500 RPM. This range ensures smooth engine operation, proper lubrication, and optimal functioning of auxiliary systems.
If the idle speed exceeds the upper limit of the manufacturer's recommended range or significantly deviates from the normal idle speed, it can be considered high. However, the specific threshold for a high idle may vary depending on the motorcycle's design, engine characteristics, and any modifications or aftermarket components installed.
If you suspect that your motorcycle's idle speed is too high, it is advisable to consult the owner's manual or contact a qualified mechanic for guidance. They can help diagnose and address any underlying issues that may be causing the high idle and ensure that the motorcycle operates within the manufacturer's recommended specifications.
