Default High idle?

Hey All,


What's everyones scoot idle at? Mine is idling at 1000-1100 rpms and I think it's too high, what do you all think? I also have ALOT of popping from the exhaust on deceleration. Anyone else with D&D Fat Cats have the same issue?

Ok, cool then I am in the ballpark. Do you have any popping on deceleration?

None whatsoever. I didn't when using a base map in the SERT and I don't after dyno tuning either.

I got mine idled down to 750 and it sounds great and gets rid of the shakes. I need to upgrade my picture to show the fatcat.

750 is a little low hard to charge the batery, just keep a eye on the voltage.As for thepoping either a exhaust leak or lean, probably lean on deceleration this is the typical reason for poping.
