Default ive been rough on her and now shes......

got bit of a high idle.

ive been beating the crap out of the motor since i moved to charlotte and the last couple of days the idle has been a bit higher than normal.....
is it valve check time or is it just altitude change? came here from san diego...

any other ideas? i was thinking maybe cleaning the carb...

Check for an air leak. Things have a habit of loosening up on dirt bikes.

K.I.S.S.
could be that little **** on the side that adjusts the IDLE; if you have been riding hard it could have easily gotten knocked.
not to mention, the move alone...........
I'm always having to tweek mine

Closer to sea level, maybe? Just re-adjust the idle ****. Kawasaki put it there for that use.

You always check your carb settings at a different town/location. That way you keep the best power and prevent engine failures.
