Moves slowly backwards when idling

[LittleMike]

Hey gents,
Has your bike when idling and in neutral with the kick stand down , moves slowly backwards?
I'm not sure if I should increase the idle rpm to cure it.
By the time I close the garage door it will have moved 6 inches or so.
Thanks,
Mike Wild

Yeah both mine do this also. I usually stick something behind the rear tire if I need to walk away from bike. If I'm going to be longer than shutting the door I cut it off.

Thanks for the reply man, as long as I know this is normal.
Better than moving forward, darn thing would come off the kickstand and life as I know it would never be the same

Not saying it's a cure but your idle should be 950 to 1050. Loping at idle may sound cool but your crank will appreciate the higher idle speed.

Easy fix...electric garage door opener.

Thanks Mike,
Are those rpms cold or warmed up. Mine is a carburetor
