    Like to say hi - picked up my 2008 with 6500km two weeks ago and friggin loving it :cool:
    Nep cruise control is on , MRA Vario extension is on, Tech spec gripsters are on. Had to buy a second key and have it programmed ... bloody expensive.
    Got to make the seat alittle more compfy on the cheap until i can afford a Sargeant seat though still thinking of how .

    One prob - is the bike is not holding warm up rev's any more and idle rev's are bouncing between 1000 rpm and 1500 rpm . Did a search on the forum and could be any of a number of things - but I need a manual to understand what i'm looking for and where to look - if anyone could possibly help with a manual it would be MOST appreciated.

    The rev's started playing up after a big weekend ride where i was pushing the bike around the 200km/hr mark and alot of twisties. I should add I have come off a cruiser to this - so this was sooooo much fun :rolleyes:

    Cheers

    While warming up in cooler climates VFR's will idle higher all on their own to prevent stalling and help warm up quicker. Same as turning the choke all the way up on an older model.
