My bike is currently will not idle and bogs at low rpm

My bike is currently will not idle and bogs at a low rpm then once it gets to about 3,000rpm its clears out. it seems to be burning a lot of oil ccause its smokes extremley bad.i recently got a jet kit and intakes proffessionally installed and was told that i may have oil on the top of my pistons which could be caused by bad valve guide seals but i dont kno if thats the problem or not please help.

Try adjusting the jets a little leaner in the carb.But if that is not helping then yes its the valve that is bad and needs replacement. And for idle problem check the throttle valve and its adjustment.the bike won't idle for 2 reasons. either the idle is not adjusted. or the idle components are missing from the carb. there is a secondary shaft that slides in from the bottom of the throttle. up through the throttle, and throught the carb cap where there is a hollow screw. there is a very small cotter pin that goes through the top of the shaft. that cotter pin sits inside the hollow screw. by adjusting the screw out. your taking the screw up along with the shaft. thus pulling up the throttle. this secondary shaft i am talking about is the basically the same thing as the needle jet. only thicker. in other words you have two needles which run throught the throttle. one is your needle jet. the other is part of your idle assembly. Thanks. keep updated for any more query.you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

    i just got the bike proffesionaly services and they saod that they tuned it to the best of there ability, they had the carbs off 5 or 6 times till they found the right jetting so i dunt thin its that. will a bad valve or valve guide seal cause the bike to smoke, power loss, and to bog at a low rpm is it a carb issue. i doubt its the carbs cause they were jus rebuilt and tuned. i was told that there was oil at the top of my engine is that another cause of a bad valve or valve guide seal?

    Yes  a bad valve or valve guide seal can cause the bike to smoke, power loss, and to bog at a low rpm.

    as the pressure will be released due to faulty valve and due to that it will bog down.
    Quite possible.But get it checked and confirmed.
    Thanks for keeping updated with your query.

I set my trucks RPM on a low setting, from inside, no engine tampering. Now it is warmer. My truck is still running at a low RPM, seems too low for current temperature. How can I adjust my RPM?

how did you adjust a pre-programmed ECU idle settings ??? please be more specific

the vehicle's ECU is pre-programmed to run higher than 1000 rpms while in "open loop mode" then idle back down to ~750 rpms once the engine reaches operating temperature "closed loop mode"

did you tap into the OBD 2 port and used a laptop to change the settings?

This sounds like you may have a vacuum leak, look for something rubber that is being affected by the heat. You can spray brake cleaner (carb cleaner eats paint) and listen for RPM change. Push and pull on any hoses and rubber parts, again listening for RPM change.

What is idle RPM of Pulsar 150 DTSi 2007 model. Mine shows 1500 and after warm-up show 2000

Most bikes are in the 1000rpm range unles they are 2 stroke (some small Aprillas etc.), dont always go by the tacho meter, you can usually hear if the bike is idling too high or too low and idle adjustment is usually fairly easy once you find the adjuster screw.
