Recommended TaoTao TBR7 Motorcycle Idle RPMs? – FAQ

The recommended RPMs for your TaoTao TBR7 motorcycle engine is 1500 +/- 150 RPMs.

Why Do The TaoTao TBR7 Engine RPMs Change?

The TaoTao TBR7 motorcycle is a carburetor engine, and the settings on your carburetor might work well one moment and then not the next.

Carbureted Motorcycle Engine RPM Normal Change Example:

The fuel/air ratio is critical to a well-running engine. One day you set up your carburetor’s jets in the peak of summer when fuel vaporizes well. Just like: I Adjusted The Nibbi Carburetor, Tuning My TBR7 Motorcycle.

Then fall comes around, cooler temps kick in, and fuel doesn’t want to vaporize so well.

Less fuel in the air stream enters the engine, so the engine runs a little leaner, and the power output changes. Now during normal idle, the engine RPMs change.

See, simple air temperature changes can change the idle RPMs. In this case, it might be best to change your jets and fine-tune the carburetor’s needed position, but most of us adjust the idle speed screw and ride.

Again, the recommended Engine RPMs for the TaoTao TBR7 dual-sport motorcycle is 1500 +/- 150 RPMs.

Hi I’m Tom, A New Motorcycle Rider and Blog Author.

I am a new motorcycle rider(Pa Motorcycle Learner’s Permit at the end of 2020, and I received a full M-Class Pa Motorcycle License in 2021, only after passing the Pa Motorcycle Safety Course).

I bought my first motorcycle, a TaoTao TBR7 (A Chinese Dual-sport motorcycle), at the beginning of 2021 and have been doing upgrades on that motorcycle since.

I added to my motorcycle collection by buying a Boom Vader Gen 2 motorcycle in 2022, and that little Grom-Clone bike has been upgraded by me as well.

I continue to ride my Boom Vader Gen 2 motorcycle as well as my TaoTao TBR7 dual-sport bike.
