What does your f4 idle at guys? I have a feeling mine is slightly too high thanks in advance

 

Mine is around 1200 rpm at present, maybe it should be a little higher?

 

1300rmp and cali is 1400. i think i have mine set to around 1450+

 

Mines about 1500 so it's not too far out then think ill just leave it as it works just fine

 

Book states 1300 +/- 100 depending on ambient temp.

Edit: Something clever are you in cali?

 

it is a cali bike and pretty worn out

 

Yeah once warm it idles perfectly at 1300rpm... never used to, then I had the carbs reset, iridium plugs, K&N etc and set the idle valve nicely and it's sweet. Never ever used the choke either yet which is strange!

 

No no are you in cali Im in the Bay Area and its always great to find another rider in ca.

 

After running warming up it sits around 1200 -1250 rpm

My bike is Idling rather erratic at present and pulses up and down and can only expect the carbs need syncing or the Idle jets are a bit dirty?

Only erratic this on idle though and is smooth all the way through the revs to 10k at least as about as far as i have gone so far

 

Yeah, when i took the bike in for a once over after I'd bought it, got 2 wheel workshop in Ellesmere Port to check valve clearances, tune the carbs etc and service all the fluids blah blah... ever since then it's running so sweet and today I was ut, christ almighty it was pulling like a train in this cold weather. carb's rock... not a fuel injection fan tbh...
