I know you have to leave the stock idle cable installed but what should it be set at? I have the stock set to 3krpm. should I set it back to normal idle and just mess with the second cable?

Re: F4i idle screw relocation

i don't know what yall are talkin about, but i took out the stock idle "stop" and screwed my Cable in where that goes.. and I've got NOOOOO problem.. well, you can get it to stall if you unscrew it all the way.. and you can still get it WAAYYYYY up there in the Rpms' to get up around 45mph..

Ya leave the stock one set to normal idle and just turn up the second cable.

(stock one changes fuel flapper, second one does the same thing as turning the throttle, just holds it where you want it)

Re: F4i idle screw relocation

Take the stock cable out and put it where a set screw is.

does the actual throttle grip turn if you set the second cable to 3krpm? or is it all internal?

yes it turns the throttle bodies open, which pulls on the throttle cable.

But. anyways...again YES YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE STOCK IDLE ADJUST CABLE and ADD A SECOND ONE to the throttle bodies or the bike will not run right (or at all on a 600rr)

Re: F4i idle screw relocation

Here is what I added to make turning up idle even easier go buy a rubber hose from an auto parts store zip tie over your extra idle screw know and just run it out the right side of the bike easy to turn up and down even with gloves on! :YEAH

Re: F4i idle screw relocation

The normal idle adjuster does not adjust the butterfly's. It adjust small idle valves that let bypass air past the throttle body butterfly's. Now the thing is that adjusting this stock cable can only increase the idle very little and when you turn it, the Throttle position sensor does not turn, so the mixture goes lean. When the engine is cold the same valves let more air in , and the ECU gives more fuel because the engine is cold. But when engine is warm you don't get no extra fuel when you increase idle speed with the stock adjuster. This is probably the reason why the idle goes inregular if you increase the idle too high with stock adjuster.

This new adjuster adjust the throttle butterfly's, now the throttle position sensor also turns and ECU knows that throttle has been opened more and gives more fuel to compensate. Basicly the mixture is depending on the stock adjuster position, so you can make it little leaner with opening the stock cable or making it richer by closing it.
