Idle adjuster not turning? - SV650.org

05-03-09, 02:18 PM

Hi all

My K2 SVS is currently running at about 1400 - 1500rpm when at idle so the adjuster on the left needs moving a bit to bring the idle down slightly.

The adjuster needs moving anti-clockwise to decrease the idle speed.

However when I try to move the adjuster it doesn't move, instead the whole assembly behind it and the cable attached to it twists around with the adjuster knob. This is with the other hand trying to stop the assembly moving as well.

Have I reached a limit to how far the adjuster can be screwed anti-clockwise? If the idle adjuster doesn't work I guess a carb sync tool is in order.

Cheers!

give the cable a scoot of lubricant and check its been routed correctly

The threaded section of the adjuster is stuck, (common), free that off and it'll be OK.
