950 is about the right rpm if you go lower your oil pressure will drop dangerously low

even if you had a carb, you still want your idle around 1020 rpm. but to answer your question, any efi tuner can lower your idle.


idle low and often, your local wrench has kids in college[sm=headbang.gif]

But in Taiwan, a lot of people it hopes to be very much low what idles speeds of Halley adjust, this is incorrect, maybe! !
But I kind cherishes the memory of that kind of rhythm that would stop working and not stop working of 883 in the past of mine ........
Does it have no idea that in 05?
