Sounds fine but looks like 1100- turn up to 1250/1300.
I went to view a street triple and that ticks over at about 3x ours.
Does anyone know of a bike that has such low idle as our std spec does
Re: Rough Idle - with video - His Dudeness - 08-05-14
think most bikes idle around 1200RPM

Fazersharp - I admire your enthuasiasm, but the bike was idling in the vid, around 1250rpm. And as already pointed out, wasn't fully warmed up. After a 30 minute ride it idles at about 1350 - 1400.
I have ordered a new air filter and oil filter and will give it a service once they arrive, if the plug caps dont cure it - I'll get the carbs off in my week off.
Will keep this thread updated with any changes.

Ill shut up then
Im still saying it sounds fine--- or at least sounds the same as mine,
Re: Rough Idle - with video - GosportFazer - 08-05-14
Haha, I appreciate everyones input, its just I have tried upping the idle speed before. I hope it is a solvable stutter.

Divided opinion on whether to change float bowl gaskets or not.. Me personally I would change them, particularly if they are the originals as once flattened and then disturbed can be prone to weeping..
I've had my bowls off probably 4 or 5 times and they're still fine

I did say "can" and not "will"

Quick Update:
Plug caps arrived and fitted - made no difference
Also received my infra red temp gun - fantastic little toy! and indeed £8
At idle from cold it seems after 5/10 minutes that the cylinders are about 160 degrees or so at header, apart from no4 which is around 200 degrees. I haven't had time to play with the mixture on 4 to see if it would bring it into line with the rest, but I also wonder at this stage whether a partially blocked idle jet would lean it out and cause the discrepancy.
Gives me something to play with on my week off anyway.
