What should the idle speed be for a '98 Tiger? I bought one on Tuesday and got it out to ride last evening and it won't idle without a good dose of choke (I am in Montana, but it's not that cold here). When I have it warmed up a little and the choke off it (tries to) idles at about 1000 rpm. It had been sitting since last season so I filled it up with some methanol-free unleaded and a can of Seafoam to hopefully clean it up a little too. It doesn't seem to be a HR lead but if it doesn't run better after a tank of fuel I'll pull the tank and take a look at that. Thanks!
They idle better at 1150 and if it's been standing you will be wasting your time anywhere except removing carbs and giving the jets a thorough cleaning and poking
Especially the pilot circuits

I did bump the idle up to about that just by ear. Thanks for the recommendation; after I run this tank of fuel through it, I'll pull the carbs and give them a good cleaning. I did the "spray each pipe once hot" test and it seems to be firing fine on all three cylinders so it's the gunky carbs I'm sure.
