I know this has been discussed before, but it’s a worthy topic.
Idle Speed, but I ain’t got no tach (many people, stock bike)…. Actually, I have a decent tach but do I believe it??!
Idling too low is no good…. Bike barely has any oil pressure in the head with a fast idle…. I think the recommended spec is 1100rpm. I know some members have mentioned 1200-1300. My tach reads about 1250 when the bike is up to operating temperature. But, do I believe it? I’m gunna try to verify with an external tach, but will I believe it? Which one do I believe?! Average the results? Humm…
My ear is good enough to know the beat shouldn’t be as slow as Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” intro. Don’t try to make it lobe like a Harley. Sounds cool, but deadly.
