Re:What is that knob? 5 Months ago  
If you men the black knob down by the bottom of the pushrod tubes shown here (picture courtesy of BMS posted here in another thread), that is indeed your idle adjustment knob. On the pic below, it's pointing slightly forward by the bottom of the front cylinder pushrod tube.

Righty-tighty (up idle RPM), lefty-loosy (down idle RPM).

Re:What is that knob? 5 Months ago  
Just because most of these guys have decades of experience and can fix anything doesn't mean they're right. Idle control? Ha ha, right. It's a secret hyper-drive. They don't like to tell the new people about it otherwise everyone would be buying these bikes and the price would go up. But, as soon as you hit 88 miles per hour it does some capacitating and cool flames and .................


I'M SORRY. BUT JIM IS UNAVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT. WE HAVE CONTROL OF HIS POST AND WILL LET YOU KNOW LATER IF HE'LL RETURN.

THANK YOU
