For sone reason my f4i will not hold proper idle at times!! I have the stock idle cable and the secondary idle cable. Bike was purchased like that. I will crank idle up with secondary idle cable! I have not onced touched the stock cable! Seeing if I could get any suggestions to trouble shoot the prob! Bike will be at 3500rpm holding good idle~ once I clutch up and get into my circles the bike starts going up and down in idle so I have to compensate with brake and gas!any help please!!

 

thats quite normal,with the f4i...
here's some things you could fix,to try to make the bog,even less...
replace the fast idle wax unit..
new plugs.
fuel cleaner..
hope that helps

 

Fast wax idle lmfao classic. I will change the plugs and try to sync both idle cables. Thanks bro

 

I had the same problem.....after changing plugs, filter... nothing better. than I discovered that my + on batery was loose a lil bit and than it was OK

 

I checked my cables and there good! I kinda thought that might be one of the problems but I guess it was not. I'm gonna change my plugs and hopefully my idle will hold out were I need it to be!!

 

yep, what everybody said, also a bottle of sea foam from autozone in the gas every once and a while while help keep the idle more consistant and all the fuel system nice and crisp, that stuff works wonders

 

hey man i kid you not...i had my replaced a year back and was butter,,till i fucked with it again...

 

Nice!! I'm gonna really look into this! I really need a crisp idle on this bike. How much did everything run u? Parts and labor

 

i think around $90 bucks..

 

For a smoother idle and better tricks on da bike 90 bucks is perfect! Thanks bro hope this the solution that I need!

 

yea it should,,what it controls is the air/fuel mix....
what does your bike do when you start it up..does it warm up normal??,like does the idle start to go up to 2.5-3 ,then slowly work its way down??? when the bike is warmish...

 

For instance if I leave my bike at 3.5 or 4 grand from my last session and I go to turn on the bike the idle will start at like 2.5 then after 10 sec it will jump to 3.5 or 4 grand. Then idle will hold then fade hold then fade.

 

try to turn it off when not in use,, so it warms up normal...so this way you can see what your stock idle cable is doing...

 

Were finally gonna get some nice weather so I'm def gonna do everything listed be done between today and Tom. Sunday I'm gonna rip **** lol!! Just gotta get out of work to work on it!

 

Pm me ur number. Hopefully I can get a sesion or two up by u and vise verse! Always looking to rip **** with new riders. Thanks for the help bro once again!

 

I changed my plugs last nite and know the bike I running pimp! Now I can do circles til I get dizzy lol. Thanks for all the help fellaz
