    Can someone tell me what the idel should be on this bike? I just bought it about three weeks ago and I often thought that the 1800-2000RPM was a tad high. I don't have a manual yet but I do plan on ordering the XJCD this week. How would I adjust the idle and should I? Pictures of the adjustment location would be a great help if anyone can post them

    Thanks in advance.

    ~1050rpm

    Idle adjustment is made with a knob on the back of the carbs (between them and the airbox) facing down towards the crankcase.

    Thanks for the quick response PghXJ. Clockwise to increase and counter to decrease I am assuming?

    Thanks,
    Chuck
