[QUOTE="Mihylo33, post: 159472, member: 408"] A 2stroke is supposed to idle.... Way back in the day, early 80's when MXbike engines were faster than the brakes could handle (Drum brakes) the pro's would remove the idle screw and block it off with a cap. This would allow for more engine braking in the big bore bikes like the 250 or 500 2 strokes of the day. They did this up until about 87-88 when brakes became really really good.... OK now you know why this myth exists and why you need to disregard it... let that bike idle :thumb: [/QUOTE]
