#85998 uniquedoug (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 10 Adjusting the idle speed on the roadstar 6 Months ago   Just had the 600 mile service done on my bike and the service tech left the idle running so fast that I can cruise at 35 mph in forth without touching the throttle. Is it a big deal for my to adjust the idle myself, if not could someone please tell me how? Thanks again..

Counter clockwise lowers the idle. It will feel like it won't turn but it does.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #86001 uniquedoug (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 10 Re:Adjusting the idle speed on the roadstar 6 Months ago   Thanks again for the help. Do you have to take the air cleaner cover off to get at it, or can it be reached by reaching under the cover? Just got the BUB pipes on and they sound great.

Gold Boarder Posts: 895 Re:Adjusting the idle speed on the roadstar 6 Months ago   I read somewhere that the idle for the R* sould be somewhere around 900 RPMs, or so... (Something to do with keeping the oil pressure up... It always seems that my service tech like to adjust it when the engine is cold... so, when my Star warms up (after about a half hour of "real" running...) I have to turn the idle back down from a slow race... Adjust your RPMs to around 900 when the engine is hot... and then, when it's cold, use the choke to adjust the RPMs to keep it from stalling...(the first click out on the choke stop is just enough to raise the idle to do that.)   Logged     Over 50...? Never miss the oppertunity to pee, never waste an erection... And never, ever, trust a fart!   The administrator has disabled public write access.
