entoptic Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I just picked up a mint 99' and I am running into this weird idle issue. On my 97 and 95 when I blip the throttle the idle indicator will go up and come back down to the starting point. On my 99' I can blip the throttle and the needle goes up and comes down past the original idle point then goes back to the original idle point. I can do this 2 times in a row real fast and actually stall the bike. When I blip the throttle it almost seems like the engine is cutting out just a little. I know people are going to say it's my form but trust me it isn't. I don't even let the clutch out but it is close to the friction zone. Any help is appreciated. PS - Would someone point me the throttle idle adjustment. I see it in the manual but I can't see it with my eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Vee-Ef-Ar Posted June 1, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted June 1, 2012 What is your idle rpm? I like to be on the high side of 1,200rpm. Idle adjustment is done with small flat tip screwdriver. It is inserted into the hole in the frame - right side. Should be covered by a rubber grommet.

My idle was around 1k :( I was looking all over for that damn thing and saw the rubber but thought it was there for something else. I removed the rubber, stuck a long screwdriver in and felt around till I found the idle. I made the adjustment to around 13k and TADA no more stalls. I tried my best to stall it out and couldn't.

entoptic Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 13k idle??? Lol. Typo. 13k redline starts are the only way to get the power you need! That was supposed to be 1.3k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
