Adjusted mine today, have a question:

What does the line at the bottom position mean? In the DIY the line starts in the middle, mine started at the bottom.

No amount of adjusting the TPS and/or idle would allow the bike to idle properly at 1300 with the line in the middle. I could get it to idle at 1300 yet it'd sound like a cylinder was misfiring.

I gave up and focused on getting a good idle, then the best I could do was the bar to jump to the middle at 2k and top at 4K.

Also while moving the TPS sometimes the RPMs would suddenly just shoot up to 6K and stay there. I'd have to kill the ignition to stop it. I'm only moving the TPS a fraction of a millimeter, not sure where I am going wrong.

Mine is a 2006 California model if that makes a difference...
