idle rate

Maybe a little more info, are you saying it stalls on take off, but tick's over ok. 1000 rpm's about right for t/o You say you are new to Dukes and V twins. The Duke can be easy to stall if you don't get the revs right to pull away,when my wife climbs on the pillion sure bet ill stall it or close to stalling a coule of times before readjusting to the extra weight (Not saying the wifes big or anything,far from it) 4D

it never stalls when pulling away only when idling, which is making traffic a nightmare for a beginner like me

what rpm would u suggest for idling. i heard 1100.

Yes between 1000-1100.as a quick fix when you come up in traffic use the fast idle button on the throlle twist grip to increase the revs a bit. It might help till you can sort it. 4D

Art, You can use the throttle master screw to adjust the idle,its where the main cable attached to the throttle body but don't go to mad with . What part of the country are you from ? 4D
