Where should the idle be on the XB9 bikes? Mine sits right around 900rpm. When I started it today it ran for a bit then died, sounded like it was lugging a bit from the idle being to low. I restarted it and it ran fine from then on with the idle around 900 rpm. If the idle needs to be up a bit where is the adjuster located? (Yes, I plan to get a service manuel very soon.)

If you are looking at the bike from the front, on the right side of the front wheel next to the air intake on the left is the idler adjuster.

It should be adjusted to about 1050. Make sure it's warmed up completely when you adjust it.

What M1 said, and make sure it's not higher than that. I know the manuals says 1050-1100, but 1100 is too high (at least on my bike it was). Rpms will drop too slow and get stuck at 2000 or so for a couple of seconds.

I figure if it's around a 1000 it'll be fine.

Explain to me if the idle screw is simply a clockwise-counter clockwise adjustment. My XB12R (2 months old) seems to resist turning by hand. THanx, Tom}

looking towards the back of the bike clockwise makes the engine speed go up. I use an allen wrench and keep it in my jacket pocket. Since I got the TPS reset and static timing checked I have not had to change it in the last 2000 miles though.

The first 5000 miles or so on the bike will see things changing around a bit to really break in all the parts. After that assuming the timing and TPS is right it shouldn't change a whole lot unless some problem occurs.
