Whats that for??

Post by rickyt28 »

Right, might seem like a silly one, but just been studying my new bike for the past couple of days and 'getting to know her' and ive come across a lil twiddly item that i do not know the use of!

Its the cable by your leg on the right side of the bike, with a little adjuster on the end of it. Its sat on top of the coolant bottle poking out from under the fairing and disappearing between the battery and engine.

lol, what the hell is it?!

That'd be your idle adjuster, as I've come to know it as. Basically at idle, if you twist it one way the revs will increase slightly, and other way decrease. Mine is currently set at 1,500rpm, any lower and my bike decides to stall :smt011
Just twiddle it until you find an idle rpm that your bike is comfortable with

Hope this helps biggrin
