I was riding my Firebolt XB12R the other day and when i was starting it it was idling low. so i read up in my manual and saw an idler adjuster...thing is i can't find it on the bike. another thing is, it was only about 50 degrees out and the fan kept running. i had on been riding about 20 minutes at 60 mph. i thought that was akward since these bikes run best hot. anyone please help with this. | ||

Look at your left side airscoop, from the front of the bike. To the left of the air scoop you will see a small dial that requires a allen wrench(might be a torx bit?). That is your idle screw. As far as the fan goes, how many miles do you have on the bike? I know for the first 1000 or so miles, my fan ran all the time. Now I can barely make it come on.

Off the top o my craw, I *think* your idle speed should be 1050 to 1100 rpm (someone please correct me if I am wrong). If you idle speed is running below that, it will make your engine run hotter (and your fan run more...). | ||

The Buell Bible sez idle should be 1050-1150 rpm for the 2005 models! | ||

WOOPS-I stand corrected-that Bible is for the 2005 Lightning models. I sure hope it is the same for the Firebolts! My apologies for the lack of clarity in my post! | ||

i found it and the fan doesn't run as long. i adjusted the idle speed and everything is fine. thanx |
