Idle Speed
My bike has stalled once or twice soon after start when the clutch has been pulled in after moving a few metres, and I've a feeling it may be the idle speed too low in the cold weather. I know it's getting warmer, but I wanted to knock it up a few hundred revs. Is currently 1100 once settled. Can anyone plse tell me the right procedure for upping the setting, and what i should go to - was thinking around 1400?It's a K4 by the way.
Cheers guys, Steve |

1100 is nice when the weather is good, but it's just not quite enough when it's colder. I have mine at 1400 and I don't have any problems, alot of other people seem to be about the saem.

on the left hand side in the corner of the frame is a small philips screw in a white circle about the size of a 5p piece. turn it one way & the revs will go up , turn it the other way & they'll go down
see the manual for the precise location cheers |

Wouldn't have thought it would idle happily at 900 when properly cold, though. |
