My 89 CBR 600F when driving boggs alot. Can give it full throtle with out bogging or hestating. The choke is at half way in order for it to keep running when it is warm. If I close the choke all the way off then the bike dies. If the Choke is all the way open then the bike idles at about 2000 or 3000 RPM. Is there away to adjust the idle so that when the choke is off it idles right instead of dieing? How do I do that? Where is it located? I would look in a manual but I had to order one and wont get it untill next week.

 

if you take off the left side maintenance panel, angle yourself from the front of your bike and look towards the back of the bike inside the panel and there will be a black ****, thats the idle adjustment. be careful as a little turn can do alot of changing. i dont have the pic with me, but i will post it when i go to work on monday (its on that pc).

 

Haha, I realize this thread is d.e.a.d. however if someone is still around could you post a picture of the idle screw? I have been looking all over and just cannot find it.

 

i can post one tomorrow if you can wait that long. its on the left side of your bike, right by the carbs.

 

No problem I can wait, is it behind the front left or rear left fairing?

 

Here it is. This is on the left side of the bike right under the carbs.
1. Starter (just to show location)
2. **** for the idle adjust.

 

Awesome thank you, is that behind the rear plastic or the front left plastic?

 

Well I'm not really familiar with how many pieces the hurricane fairings have because my bike doesn't have them. But super easy to find.

 

i would make sure the carbs are sync'ed correctly first

 

Adjusting the idle is a lot easier than sycing the carbs, so I might try playing with the idle adjust first. It's actually really hard to get to just from the maintenance door. I had to take my whole left fairing off to get to it comfortably. try looking back in under the fairing and see if you can spot it, but if not taking the whole thing of make sit a lot easier to find.
