Hello Crash and welcome...

Look out for Beds/Herts/Cambs/ Northants (BHCN) rideouts. There's one on Saturday up to the V-Twin festival, see that thread for details.

Mines a Guiness...better make it an extra cold one

Hi Crash! - not sure about the handle but welcome.

Everyone is welcome at the Cornerspeed gathering, I just hope the recent weather holds on for us.

Not sure about the idle problem - in my experience they can idle a fair bit faster when warm, I've set mine so its about 1000 rpm after a quick warm so then = 11/1200 after a 'rapid' ride

Wouldnt of thought it was ignition so carbs would my most likely suspect.

Cheers - Frank

Frank - thanks for the advice. The strange thing about this prob is that the bike will idle at the correct speed - when it misbehaves and sticks at 3000 I just have to let the clutch out a bit at a stand still with the brakes on to get it down. Once the revs are down it will happily purr away at 1100 even in todays weather after an hours ride! really strange...
