Fast idle?
So I'm enjoying the hell out of my new to me 2004 1200C. It's loud and fast and induces an evil grin when I twist the throttle. However, It seemed like it was idling kind of fast this afternoon. I did push the choke in after she warmed up, but nonetheness, it still seemed a little fast. It's kind of cold here, probably low 60's right now. Any thoughts?

RE: Fast idle?
Make sure the choke is closing all the way, and set the warm idle speed at 1,000 RPM.
There is an adjustment screw on the carb you can use to increase or decrease the idle speed.
Also, with the bike at idle and not moving, turn the handlebar all the way to the right. If for some reason the idle speed increases your throttle cable(s) are out of adjustment. This is also an easy fit, only take a couple of minutes to adjust.

I appreciate the help. This is my first bike and I've got a lot to learn... fortunately the class is a fun one! [sm=biker2.gif]
