Idle Speed ? (Read 137 times)

Posts: 45 Crawley WV Gender:	Idle Speed ? 04/15/12 at 17:40:43 My bike is a 2012 with 250 miles on it and when it is warmed up the idle speed seems realy high to me.I've turned the idle down a bit is there a way for me to check it for propper idle speed and will it do anything to the bike if I have it to slow.The only other bike I've ever had was a 650 VStar and the idle is a lot faster than that bike.Thanks.

A low idle will starve the head of oil... and cook yer' cam...
Too high,.. will just sound too high, and it might cost you an MPG or two if you idle a lot...

Er on the high side ... the low, loping, idle is a popular fad, but it ain't good fer' yer' bike...

This bike is okay,.. perhaps just a hair on the high side... but don't go a whole lot lower...

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh

Reply #2 - 04/16/12 at 14:00:35 I have a tachometer on my ’06 and it idles just on the high side of 1000rpm when warmed up. It tends to creep up if I add a "shot" of SeaFoam but goes back to normal on the next tank full.

You can plug those sissy bar holes with Metal cromed 3/4" furiture plugs from your local hardware store. Been there, done that.
