Engine idling

Subject: Engine idling Sun Jun 27, 2010 8:12 pm

I was trail riding yesterday and all of a sudden my engine idling went up, more than the norm. My bike runs 1600 miles now. What could be the cause of this? With carburetors i know it happens all the time but with fuel injection. Is this normal? dddog

Just adjust the idle screw. No problem at all my bike did the same thing. The idle screw just has a tendency to move by itself i think. Just turn the revs down a little.

Its really there! But how do you know if the CO is right for your elevation or atmosphere? And how can you change it? I can see your RPM was moving. But how do you do that, just by turning the idle screw? My elevation is sea level (bit higher i guess) temperature ranges from 36 to 38F. Is there a recommended CO to that? Don't really know what I'm asking is right, hoping I'm getting to the point here.

The manual says *CO from exhaust adjustment* what ever that means....
I just left mine to the default 4 after playing with deferent numbers for a while....
I just show you the video for the tachometer Engine idling Lol

I still don't understand why they wouldn't put a tach on these bikes in "normal" mode. WTF?
