Fast Idle unit on throttle bodies

[GPRIDER]

Try raising the idle to 2000 with the throttle before you go to the trouble of getting to the screw. I tried that the other day and it ran like crap! Much worse than the normal 1500 fast idle.

I already tried all that with negative or no results.

07 1300A, indicated 1300-1400 cold, 600-700 hot. Bike will die sometimes if I make a really quick stop. Where's that idle adj. at? I probably need to re-synch the throttle body as well.

Idle control knob is on the right side of the bike,tucked in behind the fairing. Idle should be 1000-1100 at normal operating temp. So warm it up to 3 or 4 bars, then turn the knob.

Thanks.

I would encourage making it 1100 - 1100 rpm +/- 0.

It's an easy adjustment and the extra 100 rpm has improved the ride-ability for many folx in the past.

(...)But it's quite warm (for the UK), and the mechanic says he checked the plugs, but didn't change them.

I would RUN from any mechanic who would do that on an FJR, at least if he charged you any hours for "checking them". $25 for a new set of Iridium plugs while he's "in there checking them", versus having to do it all again later.

Just FYI, my cold idle RPM is 1,500.

I'd stop by the dealer tomorrow and ask about it - if I thought I could find anyone there who could find their ass with both hands.

Sometimes it helps to just ask for the 'Keeper of the Clue'. Some places will give you the blank look, others will immediately point you to the guy that has the Clue.

And then again, some folks couldn't get a clue if they were standing naked in a clue prison, soaked in clue pheromones and carrying a clue pardon. :rofl:

You must add clue glue
