ok this is my first bike. 06 600RR. I took it in to the dealer for the first service and when it got back I noticed a lope when it's warming up. I don't remember it having this lope before the service. Is this normal? It's only loping 50 to 100 rpm. After it warms up and I take off, the lope goes away, but i want to make sure it's not mistuned now.

 

What the hell is a lope?

 

+1

 

My Camaro used to do the same thing...but it was cammed...maybe the dealership accidently put a different cam in your bike?

 

don't worry mine does that if it really bothers you just turn the idle a bit

 

My 05 did it before I put my 2 Bros pipe on. It's more noticeable now because the pipe is so much louder than stock, but the idle smooths out after everything warms up.

Nothing to worry about.

 

what the hell's a lope

 

thanks, good to hear it's nothing searious. I was just being causious.


for those that don't know what a lope is, go listen to a hot rod with a really low idle. a lope is a bounce in the RPMs usually easier to hear in older larger Cubic inch motors.
