How do you turn the rpm's? Bike running at bit too slow!

I think there is a little knob that turn up the rpm, its running too slow and stalls.:mechanic:

 

Right side of the bike, under the frame and just above the clutch cover, there should be a little black knob poking out from under the fairing. That is your idle adjustment.

ok. thanks -I think some how it got push inside a little

 

Better find out why the idle changed.

 

Don't know, maybe the vfr is now getting used-I adj some. I will try and set at 1200 when really warmed up well and see if that works. perhaps the cable just needed to be tighten up a little. check out the brake pad deal I got-those pads go for $150-i paid $62 shipped-JC whittney -one screwed up company-they don't know what they are doing. The order has shipped. I used some pj1 cable lube maybe it was sticking-adj the screw and the pj1 lube should fix it.

 

Try setting it a little higher SOW, say 1300-1400.

 

what does the manual say id speed is? Isn't 1200? It was at 500 way too low and stalled a few times, I didn't notice this till today, but yesterday it was slow too' , I would think 1200 would work. I used some pj1 cable lube.

 

your cable has nothing to do with your low idle problem.

 

1200 rpm (+/- 100 rpm)

 

set it to 10,000 rpm, will launch hard then

 

I was able to get the rpms up to 1000, I am sure a bit more turning on that knob-I can get it up to 1200, it just seems hard to turn. Oh I wonder if I hold the throttle open would it be easy to turn? Maybe closed makes it hard to turn.:bowl:

 

500....... something is not right.

 

well there is an understatement. And it has everything to do with the knob on the bike

 

I see what you did there, clever! :wink:

 

Don't insult knobs. lol

 

well next time ,I see if I can get 1200 that knob is very like dealing with BB at a troll bridge. If the rpms go too low it takes too long to get the rpm's back up fast.

 

SOW may be pulling his knob rather than turning it. s/min rather than r/min.

 

he's back , I wonder how many old ladies had to pay his toll today. He's not George Patton, nobody looks forward !:bump2:

 

So SOW, did the bike run at normal rpm's then out of the blue drop to 500 rpms?

 

some how it just dropped to 500, I don't see how I wouldn't notice. it barely runs at 500.
