Where's the idle screw
Ive noticed the bike rpm is idling at about 900 which doesn't sound right, also if I blip the throttle the bike stalls, I know I need to adjust the idle but where is the idle screw?

Re: Where's the idle screw
Left side, you can see it in the "trellis" of the frame.
Top tip - you dont need a screwdriver, if you reach behind to the actual cable, you can twist the cable itself - clockwise to increase the idle (I think). Dont forget to blip the throttle between tweaks. |

Re: Where's the idle screw
What is the recomended tick-over speed...when i go my sv it was about 1000rpm and stalled quite easy, and was jerky to ride and roll off the gas. I found a tick over of 1400rpm was much better, but now I`ve adjusted the tps the jerkyness has gone and my tick over is set at 1100rpm.

1300+/-100

Re: Where's the idle screw
Are you meant to adjust this when the bike is fully up to tempature?

If the adjuster does sod all, unclip it and try again.
I've found it easier to go to 1700 and then bring it down slowly. Factory should be 1300 +/-100 I've found 1400 hot to be easier cold |
