Usually, my idle runs at about 1500 RPM.

After I left school, and came to a stop about 8 minutes later, I noticed my idle going around 1000 and going below. I noticed the sound at first. Then my bike kept dying. I was like, "WTF!!!"

Then when I pulled over, my first guess was someone changed the choke... and yeah, I was right.

Is there any way of hiding it? or securing it some how?

I'll probably hide behind the bushes with a bat tomorrow.

 

There is no choke on an f4i. Do you mean the Idle adjustment?

 

lol... I guess that's what it's called. I'm still a noob. In the MSF course... the nighthawk's idle adjustment was a choke. iono... that's what the instructors called it.

 

our bikes have an auto coolant choke, the adjustment you are talking about is an idle speed adjustment

 

oh yea, i forgot to answer the question...you can pop it off of the little plastic holder and move it behind the fairing if you want

 

where is the idle adjustement located on the F4i's? on my old F2, it's this little **** on the left side...but I haven't had to use it on the F4i.

 

That's where it is. You only need to adjust it once. Set at 13-1400, if memory serves correctly.

 

fuel injection bike dont usually have a choke but the idle adjustor has a metalic pin on the plastic cap so it will not be easily moved. also i recomment to everyone that their idle speed should be more than 1500 rpm, at this speed the alternator will be always charging the battery.

 

And you will be using more fuel. The manual says 1300RPM's. That is what mine sits at.
