Cold idle low RPM

[Bighat]

On cold morning startups after hitting the fuel and then lefting off the fuel the machine will idle down so low that you think it's going to stall. Doesn't do it all the time. The machine has alot of mud on it because it's in the mud everyday working. Doesn't do it everyday. I let the machine warm to one if not two bars on the coolant gauge.

My 3 seater does the same thing. I've never tried to figure it out because it has never died because of it. 2018 with 6k miles.

Maybe it fires up on one cylinder and it takes some heat to get the 2nd plug hot enough to fire? I'd change the plugs. My Talon has done that a time or two but not enough to worry about.

My 2020 1000-5 does this with maybe 2800 miles. It has not truly died but it sounds like it could. I just drive it. Mine will most likely do it after long sits in the cold. During winter I might use the machine twice a week. Sometimes only once.

Does this happen more when it sits out in the rain or after a wash.

I see, sounds like the nature of the beast. Good, nothing to worry about. Cool.

I was wondering that too. Thanks

I don't think setting makes a difference because mine is used daily. Thanks.
