Idle speed 4 Years, 2 Months ago  
OK, I'm expecting more than one "DUH!!" for this question. But every bike is different and I'm just learning this one so I'll take the dive. Before the 600 mile service the motor had a nice lope to it at idle after it was warmed up. Now at idle with the clutch out I go a stready 13 mph with my hand off the throttle. I'm thinking that ain't right. (Insert DUHs.) I don't know if it is the idle speed set too high or the choke set wrong so I don't want to adjust the idle down with the choke still not all the way off. I payed for the service so I should take it back but if they can't even get this right with a new customer who just dumped a bundle at their store do I really want them to have another crack at screwing it up?. But if I go tinkering around with it myself and don't do the right thing then I'll probably have to pay someone to fix my fix or worse yet damage the motor. So anyway, Is it supposed to idle at 13mph? Any suggestions? Besides selling the bike because I'm to lamebrained to own one DUH!!
