"Compared to the SV650 the Fazer 600 would generally not have enough torque to trundle around at idle without slipping the clutch.
As said in previous post carb balance and TPS setting will help and set the idle speed to 1200rpm"
My idle is just above 1000, could adjusting this make the difference?
You definitely want around the 1200rpm mark, the bike engine will hunt around otherwise, and be a bit of a pain warming up, especially in cold weather if it's lower than that.
Make sure the bike is at operating temperature before balancing, take it for a 10 minute spin up the road.
If the carbs haven't been balanced recently then you will notice a nice improvement, especially when slow riding in traffic for instance.
It will also very slightly alter the tone of the engine as well, as in a little bit quieter, just because the fuel distribution is functioning in a more organised manner.
