Hi Everyone, hope you're all well. I've just got myself an 07 690sm. Only done 50 miles, but really chuffed so far. It seems to be the fun bike I want. I've got a FZ1N which I love, but on the rubbish roads in N. Devon I just can't use it to its' potential.
Anyway, a quick question if you don't mind. My bike runs great, but idles at a shade over 3,000rpm. I'd rather it was 2,000rpm, but is it all academic anyway? I don't commute or sit in traffic, and it isn't so high that it pushes on into corners. (It's lumpy below 4,500 except for 1st and 2nd, so I keep the revs up a bit). Is the lumpyness normal below those revs, and what do you think about the idle speed?
I've had a few 4 stroke mx bikes so know they idle high, but obv never had a tacho fitted.
I'd appreciate your thoughts please. I've had a search and so far not found an answer. Cheers
