1000 RPM, is the idle speed spec. If your idle quality is poor, other than speed and or you have off idle transition isuues, maybe you should take the bike to a pro and have it diagnosed. Your homemade 2-2 trie dual exhaust requires the bike toa be re-tuned. That could also be allmor part of your issue.

nothing is homemade on my bike. I was hoping maybe someone smart would have a answer or similar problem to when the bike is up to Temp after a 20-30 minute ride and the bike would idle low . I fixed it today by installing a new crank sensor. Thank for your input it really helped me and other people who have similar issues when they come across a post like this

Multiple posts pointed you to the fact that 1000RPM is not a “LOW” idle for this bike.

the thousand rpms feels like it was 500rpms that's how low it was feeling. The crank sensor was leaking oil and melted on the top. I changed it and bike is steady 1050

In your OP you said you checked and cleaned the crank sensor as well as other potential sources of the problem thereby eliminating the crank sensor as a potential source of the problem. Had it not been for that, "someone smart" might have suggested the crank sensor as a potential source of the issue; problem solved. However, you kept insisting the 1000rpm idle speed was "not right" and if the idle speed was 1050rpms, you would not be on the forum asking questions; you even replaced the motor mount. Maybe after several members pointed out that a 1000rpm idle speed was normal, you decided to back check some things and found the crank sensor problem that, apparently, you missed in your initial diagnosis.

I read all your replies and, honestly, caught a bit of attitude in a couple which I am sure other members caught as well. I see that you are a new member and suggest that if you want to hang around; lose the attitude. Lots of "smart someones" here and all wanting to help.

1000 or 1050 is splitting hairs. We are not there to see. But first question to me was,is this your first rubber mounted motor. But you got it fixed good to hear

i'm sorry, but anyone that watches your video is going to see that your header pipe for the front cylinder is homemade, not Rinehart or anyone else, sorry it hust is what it is. It hides under the heatshield, so no big deal, and it doesn't change the fact that true dual exhaust needs to be tuned.

good luck in your journies here,,,remember, this place works a lot like a computer, garbage in=garbage out. lots of good info here, so dont be discouraged.
