Idling problem

[MikeBenzon]

I took the bike out today for a nice long test ride. I can't believe how much smoother the motor runs. I have never felt the motor run this smooth on either this bike or my first. I will do my own TB balancing from now on. The bike feels real strong, probably has more to do with the new air filter than anything else.

Glad everything seems to have worked out.

Another thing I found upsets the tickover is the vacuum pipe that runs into the ECU. If it becomes dislodged the ECU gets the wrong reading and thinks its at a strange altitude and adjusts the tickover to compensate.

The elbow that goes into the airbox on mine is a poor fit in the grommet, but I guess it doesn't affect the actuation, because it's still measuring the airbox pressure that the throttle bodies are seeing, just lets dirt in.  Still must get round to fixing it though.
