I just got a 06 F4i with about 10k kms (~6k mi) on it and I've got a question about the idle speed.

I know, according to the service manual, that normal idle speed is supposed to be 1300 +/- 100 rpm.

So when I start my bike it settles in at about 1400rpm which is normal but after some riding I'll be at a traffic light, in first, and it idles at about 1600rpm... is this normal or too high??

Thanks again!

 

Thats about where mine is at.

.......looks like you answered your own question......





just in case you didnt lol..........set it at 1300 once warmed up. 1600 is a bit high

 

Mine sits at 1100 warm

 

You can always turn down the idle if you feel its too high

 

really easy to adjust, turn turn that little plastic **** that is on the end of that black tube down near your left leg

 

idle variations has to do with your engine temp. Usually, the hotter your engines gets, the lower your idle will drop. as others have stated, a warm engine...let's say from 130F to 200F... should be around 1300rpm.

I believe at 225F or so, my idle is like 1100rpm.
