I did the flapper mod as soon as i got the bike about a month ago. Today I installed my HIDs and needed the extra room to mount the ballast so i removed the vac canister and solenoid. Now the bike is idling at 1400 rpm.

How can I fix this? Why would removing the canister and solenoid raise the idle if it wasnt even being used in the first place? What should the bike idle at?

Or is this what the bike should idle at and now it just sounds louder that the canister is removed and the flapper might still have been closed but now its open so it sounds louder?

Any help would be great!

 

Thats about what min idles at and mine is still completely stock.

 

Just seems louder then before. Maybe I'm crazy? What is everyone's bike idling at?

 

i havent taken anything off just plugged up the vac line and my idle dropped to just shy of 1000 so i have no idea why it did that either.....

 

The 1K is supposed to idle around 1200-1300 rpms ideally. It's very simple to adjust (the idle adjustment **** is on the left side at the corner of the opening in the cowling.

 

if it started idling faster it means that it has a vacuum leak did you take off the vacuum hose that goes into the back of the throttle body to the canister

or just pull that hose off of the canister and plug it

either way when a vehicle starts idling faster ususally it is from a vacuum leak especially when you have been messing with vacuum systems
