The research I have done tells me that the charging system is only really charging around 3000 rpm's. From there down you are not producing much over 12 volts. I set my Tmax up a little at a time. I had that noise on quick blips on my bike as well until my Tmax learned the new fuel curves and timing curves. It started with a very sharp angle on the graph that I slowly smoothed out. Once that was done I would bump it down a little more and more till I got around 850. I have not noticed any ill effects on the chargind system at all. I also don't let it sit and idle and not charge. Just my experience and I suppose everyone's is different.

You are correct in the fact that in a perfect system the charging system is not putting out enough to really charge until higher rpms. As you stated it works okay for you but another bike/system with more electric use or system that varies slightly from the norm, say a not in top shape battery can have problems with low rpm idle stressing the components in the system.

Nothing sounds nastier than a set of SE211 cams with 10:1 compression.

I can't believe all the people that lower their idle just for the sound, BWTFDIK.

I guess I missed the whole point with my motor build and cams. I never cared about how my bike sounds at idle. They sound great between 5000 and 6000 rpms though.

Lope is over rated. You can lower your idle to get that if you want on a stock engine. Chop is what sounds good. My 10.7:1 107" w/ Mackie 598s running at 1088 rpm.....now that is Choppy.
