Title: 2005 FZS 1000 Engine idle speed.
Post by: Decoke Dave on 21 June 2018, 08:34:29 pm

I may be being a bit obsessive, (Mechanical engineer), but I have heard that some thous tend to knock and snatch a bit going into 1st from neutral when stationary, as mine did slightly.  Found the best way to make this quite sweet was to use a low idle speed  (just under 1000 rpm).  Sure I read somewhere on here it is not a good idea to have the idle speed so low.  The bike ticks over nicely at this speed and just clicks going into gear, Is this a load of bollocks or not, I know this is lower than the handbook says?

I was advised not to lower tick over too low because that could affect oil pressure. If the carbs are balanced and the chain is adjusted right it should not bang into 1st from neutral with standard tick over.
