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

The fast idle button helps but it depresses itself evrytime i release the throttle so im back to square one. could you tell me more about the throttle master screw...

Throttle master screw, fixed it for me.

I didn't know about the fast idle either for the first 12 months.

At the other end of the throttle cable under the tank you should be able to see it on the right hand side after removeing side fairing. It looks like half a wheel as the cable nipple attaches to the body,there is an adjuster screw that point to the front of the bike that will increase or decrease the revs. 4D
