Tick Over
Hi guys,
I'm not really mechanically minded so you will have to bear with me here. When I stop at traffic lights the bike ticks over but feels a little sluggish. If I then twist the throttle a little quite often it cuts out. A real pain when you are just about to buzz off after filtering to the lights in front of cars. Is there anyway I can increase the idle tick over? It's got another 2k until a service so just wondered if there is a dial or something that i can turn? Cheers Wheelie

What model bike is it? on the curvey there's an idle adjuster just to the left of the bike under the tank!! But only adjust your idle speed when the engine is at normal operating temp

Not 100% sure but I think it hovers on the 1k.
Can I make it tick over at 1.25 - 1.5 ?

A 1k tickover should not be the reason for any kind of stalling. Your TPS might be a bit out, or the throttle bodies might need balancing.
