Finding a way to turn that screw (if equipped) is the challenge. I use a tiny hex ratchet with a flat head screwdriver bit.

i guessed so. the space available is close to none.....haha.....went out just now and experienced the same thing again. Was at the traffic light, in 1st gear, clutch fully pressed...engine died while idling and took a few attempts to start it back.

Perhaps you merely need to increase the idle speed. ;) The idle speed adjuster is shown inside the yellow circle in the photograph below. Merely tighten, or loosen the screw to adjust the idle speed of the engine. :)

Hi, I own a KTN RS3 too. I am from Penang, Malaysia. I am having problem for both engine cold start and restart after engine is warmed up. The engine died after engaging the first gear even though the clutch lever is fully pressed. My current RPM setting is around 1.8k to 2k. I think it is too high. and I often smell fuel from the exhaust. I will send my bike back to tuning this Saturday since it is still under warranty.

If you would like to tune the carb by yourself, make sure that you do it after the engine is warmed up.

Cheers

Welcome; we are glad you joined us. :hi:

Your problems also sound as if they might be caused by an improper adjustment of the pilot mixture screw (PMS). Indeed, the PMS should be adjusted when the engine is hot. I emphasize, the engine must be hot, not warm. ;) After your problem is resolved, please let us know how it was fixed. :)

I will make sure my both eyes are glued to my bike when they are tuning my bike. ;)

Welcome! Thanks for signing up. Please show us pics of your bike.

X2. :) If you have time, please post a thread in our Introduce Yourself forum, and include photographs of your KTN RS3. We love to view photos from different parts of our world. :tup:

Not sure am I doing this right. I haven't posted in forum for a long long time. Please let me know if you all can view it.

I have changed the top box to bigger box. The rest remain the same as the rest of the world. ;)

How can I find the thread? Please advise.

Thanks. I really hope that they can solve my problem by just adjusting the PMS.

Hello fellow Penangite Adventore.
Where did you get your bike. looks like the idling thing is a common prob for new bikes.
What box did you get? am looking for one also coz the current one is just a bit too small.

FTEY. I got my bike from one of the motorcycle shop at mainland of Penang State. The brand of the box that I changed is Coocase. Model number S48-L Luxury.

I'm sorry; the correct name of the forum is New Member Introductions. ;) If you have time, please post a new thread and introduce yourself to our community at the following link. :)

Confirmed there's a brass screw under that carb and it should be the PMS screw.
Problem now is getting there is a pain. Space is so small. Cant even get the smallest screwdriver in there let alone my hand or fingers. And with the hot engine right in front...... Unless you have an angled screwdriver or the long flexible ones.... Guess i need to send it to the shop to do it.
