How do I adjust idle speed?
Fired up the bike first time this season and it has a bit of a slow idle - idles at 750-800. If I am not mistaken, the idle should be at about 900?
I did have my dealer replace the cam and shoes (whole oem kit) this winter - is setting the idle part of this process and if so, should they adjust that for free?
Otherwise, how do I set the idle?
Thanks.

Need a manual. Do not adjust cold fast idle. Be sure it's warmed up and ridden. You could have a speck of crud built up in the carb and it may just clear itself. DO NOT ADJUST ON SCREWS TILL YOU UNDERSTAND THE CORRECT ONE. Only the warm running idle. I assume the idle speeds you quote mean carb. The FI does not have and adjustment. Never adjust the FI throttle plate. It should be closed at idle. The IAC controls the air throught it with the computer.
