Increasing idle
 
Can it be done on a 749/999 safely

I'm trying to get my bike to tick over at around 2.5-3K for trackdays as it just parks itself into the slower corners but how can I do this?

I've got a PCIII also if that helps, but need to be able to switch between the high revs and normla tickover for when not on the track

what does this mean - "just parks itself into the slower corners" ???

I've ahd a quick action throttle fitted on mine that has a button on it that can be used to take the freeplay out of the cable, I understand that this device can also be used to raise the revs at idle. Talk to Pro V Twins, of course I could be wrong.;)

I've got the same mod MM but that only works when you're warming the bike, as soon as you use the throttle it clicks back to the standard position

£200 from them - you could DIY for about £20!!!!

I know that this isnt strictly relevent but on safety grounds alone a single cable is just stupid!

The downsides of their mods are -

£200
you only end up with single cable operation - not very safe
their mod is completely overpriced and over engineered

I have a quick-action throttle that I fitted on my bike - £100 from Demon Tweaks - 1.5 hrs to fit from start to finish - works a treat.

But it doesnt help your idle issues - although I still dont know what you mean.

is it not the same as the 996 - 7mm spanner on the battery side of the bike?

Take throttle assembly apart and place a small bit of plastic where the fast idle button is on a 916/996 throttle that way you get the fast idle without it clicking off, thickness of plastic will determine idle speed.
I wonder if the housing without the fast idle button would drill and tap then you could use a screw and locknut to set the idle to where you wanted

7mm nut on right hand of injector bodies. I have already done this to mine, but be warned it takes a wee bit of getting used to at first as you don't have anything like the same engine braking.

I like skids idea. That would be ideal. Put a knurled knob on sort of like the lever adjuster on the Brembo radial master cylinders. Hmmmm...might just have to give that a go.

I'm hoping Yeti has taken the idea on board and will be knocking one out (pardon the pun) shortly ;)
