When do you turn your idle up?
Do ya'll ride around all the time with your idle turned up or do you turn it up when you get to the spot and turn it back down when your just riding regularly?

Re: When do you turn your idle up?
That's what I figured, only logical to keep the bike running cool when just riding around. Thanks OMR. . .By the way, still working on my slow wheelies, been mouse trapping like a *****. I know what the problem is, I am not commiting and I am hitting the break too hard too early. Has me a bit worried about my bike, don't want to bend a rim, blow a seal, or bust up my frame.

Re: When do you turn your idle up?
mine is always up and down in the lot, depending on the riding that i'm doing or things i am praticing. it will vary from 1000-4000.
generaly idle/slow Wheelies and Christs are around 3500 + or -. i am trying to get lower.
but most other things a much lower RPMs, imo theres no need to have the bike screaming 24-7. my biggesst problem is i seem to a "sweet spot" or perfect idle spot, but its hard to always find it after turn it down and back up. it will take a few runs before its back to perfect.
i dont hit the streets on my stunter too ofen unless its to get to a spot. and then they idle is def tweeked down, unless im trying to kill the streets.

I dont have a tach but id guess 3000 in the streets and mid 2's in the lot.

Re: When do you turn your idle up?
pretty much everything i need or prefer the higher rpm in the lot. the problem is are lot is at the end of a commercial culdesac and behind it is a residential development. we get a ton of complaints from them to the police and the business we ride at. so were always trying to keep the volume down. even if its just doing our run and turning it down to coast back to the starts point while the next guy is going. pretty much dont trun it down for specific trick, just always tweeking to and trying to run lower when when can to keep the complaints to a minimum and our spot secure. it doent help much with the noise for the day, but we try to keep everyone the least pissed off as possible.
