Default RE: Idle Problem??

if its an injected bike you probably have a bad heat sensor. have the dealer take care of under warranty. if carb it is a simple screw set. not so with the idle on an injected bike. injecteds are really a big deal and adjustment should only be attempted by the most qualified of techs.
