I was told not to set the idle lower than 1000rpm, at least 900s. Lower than that the oil can't get pumped up to the top. That goes for carb n injection bikes.

With FuelPak equipped bikes you can add 1 or 2 points at Value 17 and knock the idle down 50-150 RPMs . I wouldnt want to go any lower cuz where I live I have to pull out on a 4 lane and low idle settings tend to try and stall when called upon quickly.

I myself doubt that bob is at 6oo....... mine sounds the same @ 912 after warm up...
The Efi need warm up time to finish and set final idle and AFR .....

Currently i have a Stage 1 so i dont have that idle adjustment option, has anyone lowered idle using this mechanical stop???

if you are talking about the screw in the back of you're se air intake i took this all the way off it doesn't change a thing.

Has nothing to do with the fact the motor is fuel injected... it's oil pressure. Install a high pressure high volume pump and you can probably lower the idle....

however... yeah... it doesn't have quite the 'old lope' sound.... but there's no mistaking what I'm riding...
