Title: What is the correct Idle RPM's?
Post by: IcyChaos on November 22, 2005, 08:56:01 PM: I believe my Idle is a little low, its at about 900RPM's

I was curious whats a good idle for a 2000 Bandit 1200S with a stage 2 Jet kit Yoshi pipe and K&N Pod Filters.

Is that the idle speed adjuster??

I knocked it up to 1200, seems ot be a little high though. I might adjust is more tomorrow, I think its running at almost 12500 now, is 1200 the Max you want it at?

Post by: PaulVS on November 24, 2005, 11:27:08 AM: I thought the manual stated idle should be @ 1300 RPM'S... that's where mine is set.

(2003 1200s)

Post by: Vee Dub Nut on November 26, 2005, 01:05:15 AM: it seems really high.. i always set mine a lot lower before i found out why the recomend it that high. Like someone else stated, it provides more oil to the top end of the engine at idle. You get a little more chunk dropping it into gear, thats the only downside ive noticed.
