    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Idle.....

Hi all,

Might seem a simple question, but whats the best way of setting my idle speed?

I would normally let the bike warm up fully and then set it to about 1500 revs, but lately when I get home from even a short 15min spin I notice I have to turn it down a bit when I get home as its reving too high (about 2500ish), and then yesterday it seemed to drop right down after a ride and my bike nearly konked out as I pulled up on may driveway!
Once I adjust it again she ticks over perfect.


My tach cable broke two weeks ago, at the enigine side, and I stuck a new one on today and its working fine, but I just cant stop thinking that something must have caused it to snap:confused:
Any advice or ideas would be great?
 
Rising idle is the classic sign of an intake leak. FInd it and fix it.


As to the tach cable, they just break sometimes.

Yup and yup.

I just ordered two tach cables from Z1. Cables for the 850G were $12.78, other models might be a bit different.
