I'm not here to argue. I understand the love of the sound, but 950 for your TC is good. Enjoy the dependability, ease of starting, and all the positives of EFI.
If you really want the potato potato, get a carbed EVO, Shovel, or PAN for short runs and just riding to free your soul.
Totally different worlds and I don't think you'll get it all out of 1 bike.

Assuming you meant to say *not* good?

Actually I ran 2 comments I read together. Did not meant to type "not", but did mean 950. Thought the OP had later stated 950, but it was someone else. Mine is between 950 -1000.

To each their own. There may or may not be a risk involved. Too many variables to break down an exact cause of a failure related to idle could be said. For peace of mind and the fact that my cams give me a healthy sound at the idle tts sets. Tach reads 980+/- few rpm. No since in trying to fix something that isn't broke for no inherent benefit. Had to do some tuning runs with idle at 800 and I didn't like the way it sounded or felt.
