I can make the idle speed lower than normal using the throttle
I just noticed this today when I was moving the bike back out of a space. Dont know if it is normal or not?
When I forcefully turn the throttle in the close direction the normal idle speed decrease by a few hundred rpm. |

Stuck or badly adjusted cable methinks

Re: I can make the idle speed lower than normal using the throttle
Morning all.
Providing that the engine is idling at the correct speed, & that you have the correct amount of play on the cables, it's nothing to worry about. Any machine with twin cables will do this, although it's not a good idea as it will eventually distort the throttle linkage. Cheers. |

The original Honda CB750 did this by design; possibly others too.
