how to properly tune your idle?

help..... how to tune my idle up or down

[pinned247]

If you still have your TORS it will be here (RED CIRCLE)

 

 

If you no longer have your TORS you should have an aftermarket idle screw. It should look something like this (GREEN CIRLCE).

It is not a good idea to adjust the idle with the throttle cable...

I am following this thread for advise, can you elaborate on the pros and cons of not taping into the carbs and just using the cable?

Ideally, you want a little free-play in the throttle. If the throttle has no play, it is possible the throttle will move when the bars are turned, mostly if the cable is not routed correctly.

 

Now, can the idle be adjusted with the cable or the carb cap crews without experiencing any problems? Yes, I just think it should be adjusted the correct way. Idle screws for the idle, cap screws for the slides, and cable adjuster for throttle free-play.

 

Stock carbs are cheap, and I would bet many people have a set lying around collecting dust (I know I do). If you are not wanting to install idle screws in your carbs, you can probably get a set of stockers already modified pretty cheap.

 

Installing an idle screw kit is very easy and inexpensive, so to me, it is worth the time and money to do it right.

Thanks man. Makes since. I thought it was an option b/c when I got my bike it, they did not have any and it was fine for over a year. I have now upgraded carbs to PWK, but I gave my old carbs to a friend and did not want to mess his shit up.

 

We are putting the idle screw in to make it work properly as soon as they get in here. He already ordered a set.

 

Did not mean to jack your thread 907.
