Kawasaki 360 4x4 idle problem when cold

yvcharro · 10-25-2004

I have a kawasaki 360 2003 and when my bike is cold It stall when I stop. If I start it again it will run and idle fine. Then when I ride it and stop again it stall. Last time the dealer adjust the valves, do you know what valve (intake or output) can cause this?

the exhaust valves on the 360 are set too tight, they need to be adjusted to .20 mm. If you set them to this it will idle, not stall and have more power.

Thank you for your help I will try this next week end. I will also visite your web site today. Do you know for my heating problem if a cool collar would fix my problem ?

It may. The 360 does put off a lot of heat. Some have claimed that they can vapor lock and have solved this by placing some heat resistance panels under the fuel tank.

I did what you have told me and my bike runs like a new one. Thanks a lot for your help.

I adjusted the valves per the recommendation, and it now starts and runs like a champ. There was a noticable increase in power too. I'm still having a problem with it backfiring (coughing) through the carb when warm and the choke is off. Any ideas?
