XX4me Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Can anyone tell me the idle speed when you start the bike cold. Ideally it would be with the star adjustment knob on the left hand side of the bike turned out a few turns. I'm trying to set the Air Fuel mixture determined by the wax unit.

Squareman357 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Same here...just a hair over 1000... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiXXation Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 My 03 cold starts at about 1250 rpm, then settles back to the 1100-1050 rpm that I set with the adjustment knob after the temp gets up to about 125 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZITPRO Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I set mine to 1100 when it was warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 mine is up and down but within ranges I suppose 1100-1250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 mine is up and down but within ranges I suppose 1100-1250 Same. Be careful about setting the idle too low. My tach read 1100 rpm, but the dealer found out the bike was actually running at 900 rpm and drawing 3 amps from the battery. When readjusted, it was charging by 3 amps.

Thanks,I think this is what I was looking for. I have larger fuel injectors in mine and so I'm trying to figure out what A/F mixture the stock bikes run at idle. I have to unscrew the idle knob and start the bike then quickly add or subtract fuel from the map to try and get 1250rpm. Problem I ran into is when I was tinkering with the map to really smooth and lean out the idle while she's warmed up it caused the cold idle to be too low.

bhanxx Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 :shock: DOH, there's an idle adjustment thingy? Why am I always the last to know anything. Somebody want to give me a clue where it's at and what's involved. Mine idles very similar to above, but would like it too idle just a bit faster in warm weather after she warms up.

XX4me Posted July 31, 2004 Author Share Posted July 31, 2004 Look down around your left shin while sitting on the bike. You'll notice a small black knob sticking out from underneath the frame. Clockwise=raise the idle. A very small amount will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
