idle rpm question
03/09/14 at 10:36:20
From what I read here looks like low idle rpms are bad since engine doesn't have enough oil. What is downside of having high idle rpm above 1100?

If it's too high, you'll be speeding...

Low gas mileage?

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

Aside from burning more gas at a stop light youll see that trying to walk it thru a parking lot will mean using the clutch a lot more than is fun.
My cold engine idle speed wasnt good enough, even once it was time to ditch the choke. I had to raise the idle & as it warmed up I could drop it back down. Usually took about 15 minutes to get it all the way up & stable.

So looks like this is more of inconvenience for rider? What about overheating? Is risk of engine overheating higher with slightly increased idle rpms?

Who idles?
High idle would be good for a newb to learn on... easier learning the clutch w/out worrying about engine speed.
