brokendirtbike · May 5, 2015

Hi I'm new to this forum
I have a 2011 Baja 150 Dr and when I start it and put it in gear it drives
By its self I don't Evan need to use the throttle it was running fine last summer then I needed a new carb because my last one was not cleanable here is what I have done
I have messed around with idle and air mix screw
I have tried every needle position i have made sure throttle cable
Is lubed and not broken any help would be greatly appreciated

Sticking clutch.

Bike comes to a stop when I pull the clutch handle in ? Its like its possessed it just drives by its self I don't need to use the throttle at all it just puts along

clutch drag, can be many reasons, oil is dirty, plates are bad or warped, clutch basket it grooved, clutch cable needs to be tightened.....................

So the clutch can cause the bike to accelerate on its own without touching the throttle ? I was thing more like air leak bad carb ajusment etc..

Maybe your explanation was, bike moving, not bike accelerating. Yes, air leak.

my kawi was doing this one time.... turns out the gasket from my water pump was leaking. it was leaking coolant into my clutch, caused a horribly sticky mess inside my clutch. Clutch was sticking really bad and bike was moving while the clutch was engaged.

It's supposed to do that.
Turn down the idle.
