I have a 2008 mean streak 1600 it will rev at idle to 3000rpm when it warms up and it will not crank when it gets warm either any help would be greatly appreciated ?

I have this same issue. I seen this was posted in beginning of 2020 and I'm wondering if you ever found the issue

I'd say start a new thread but this ones that short you may as well carry on here.
We need loads more info before proffering an opinion on your issue.

1. Age of Bike ?
2. Mileage ?
3. Servive History ?
4. Any work carried out lately leading up to the proble you have ?
5. Exactly what is happening ?

That'll get the ball rolling.

After you get all the pertinent information and post it, you could try and using a big of starter fluid, with the Red Tube attached to the tip, to see if you can pinpoint any intake leak, which would get worst when the bike is hot. You do this with the tip pointed right at the intakes, in little spots all over to try and isolate any suction, and see if the rpm's go up. You don't just spray the whole carb bodies.

hey so it’s a 05 mean streak. But it was my grandpas bike before he passed, when he had it, it ran and rode fine up until the rod bearings spun. I got a good deal on a classic motor unknown mileage and year. They are both 1600. This isn’t the first motor I’ve had to put in this thing since he’s passed. But this one has the idle issue. I’ve switched throttle bodies and still no results. It still runs after it gets warm it just revs up after it does get warm

 

[Kawasakian]

The idle adjuster nob won't raise the idle?

 

[GREENISBEST]

It still runs after it gets warm it just revs up after it does get warm

Exact details of the above as it makes no sense how you wrote it.

 

[Kawasakian]

I think he mean it revs up after it gets warm, but that is all it does, it doesn't idle. Took me a while to decipher that too (based on the rest of his posts).

So it would seem that once the engine is warm, the idle shoots up to 3000 RPM. Sounds like a vacuum leak.
This would also explain why it won't start when it is warm (needs choke to add extra fuel to overcome lean condition from vacuum leak).

 

[Kawasakian]

That's why I suggested in post #5 he do a leak test of the intake.

 

[WFO-KZ]

Let's hope he will do as you suggested. An unlit propane torch works quite well also. Note - all of this should be done outside.

Mind you it is unnerving to hear an engine screaming at 3000 RPM while you try to detect a change in RPM.
If it will stay running with the choke on, that should lower the RPM to something more reasonable.

This video shows how its done.

The idle is fine until it warms up the it raises to 2k. If I barely touch the idle knob it Dallas on its face

It does start after it’s warm. That’s not an issue. But how big does the air leak after to be to rev up that high.

What I was trying to say the only issue is that it revs up after warm up. It will start after warming up.

The leak can be invisible to the human eye. Testing is required. Although I just realized your bike has FI.

The map sensor hose was ripped off of it don’t know how must of been one of the times I pulled the tank or something

 

[Kawasakian]

That could be it. I think the easier terminology would be to say that "after the bike warms up, it starts to idle too high", if that, in fact, is the case.

Don't keep us in suspense. When you re-connected the hose, did your idle go back to normal?

Lol yes it went back to normal and ran a lot smoother also. But as soon as I went to go joy riding the throttle cable snapped so I can’t even enjoy it lol
