High idle when warm K2
Hi, i'm new to this forum, having just returned to biking and just bought low milage SV 650 K2. On riding it back it refused to idle below 3000 revs. No problem i thought, stuck thottle cable, not that. Studied the posts, stuck choke, not those. Thottle flaps returning ok, idle adjuster backed off, all pipes look good. So obvious probs checked, any ideas on what to look at next? Thanks Leighton.

Re: High idle when warm K2
It's entirely possible I'm missing something fundamental here. If you can find the idle speed adjuster on the left hand side of the bike, warm the bike up and then turn it down so it's idling at ~1,500rpm.
When it's starting from cold it may need a little choke and idle a bit low, but when warm it shouldn't be that high. The adjuster's down where your left knee would be if you were riding. HTH Jambo BTW: Welcome to the forum
