Hey guys, So I hit 7,500 miles after a ton of riding after I moved and I saw something in the bike's service manual that I need some help with. 'Idle Speed Adjustment' - Apparently I need a hand-held tachometer to do this. Can anyone just send me to a link for what I need (they suggest one from Snap-on but I can't figure out how to get to it) And yes I know this might now be necessary but I'm very obsessive about my blast. Thanks guys | ||

Here is my story, Pull up to any other HD, have them rev their motor to 1,000-1,200 RPM and hold it, then adjust yours to sound like that. I don't even know what the stock setting is for idle RPM but I don't want to idle it much slower than that. I don't believe the oiling system is very efficient at the lower RPMs. My Sportster idles around 1,000 when its warmed up. | ||

Minimum safe idle is 1000 rpms EZ | ||

Instead of spending the money on a hand-held tach, why not get a permanent tach and fabricate a double instrument panel? | ||
| Chadprepton |
Are those hard to do? I can find the time to do that but how much would it cost? | ||

I haven't installed a tach on mine yet but there are plenty here who have and can give you those answers.  | ||

EZ, if you can just give me a link I will take care of it lol | ||
