Right, as some of you may be aware, I had a little accident recently.......but just before the accident I had a problem with the throttle staying open, so that from a standing start in first gear there were enough revs to pull away without touching the throttle. Had a play at the weekend and now the bike stalls in first if you let the clutch out....as it should (and I have the 2-3mm of slack in the throttle). However, the fast idle lever has me a little confused. When the bike is fully warm, does it work correctly? While I was tinkering I opened it half way and the bike stalled. Fully open and the bike screamed in an unhealthy fashion (which I kind of expected). I have noticed in the past while warming up that the lever has to be fully open and the throttle often needs a quick blip to get the revs up.....if I close it off to half way, the revs drop too far (even after a few minutes warming up) and the bike stalls.
So, basically, can the fast idle lever be adjusted in any way, or should I just replace the cable....or has the whole system gone belly up........or perhaps I am clueless and it is actually working in the correct fashion??? :confused:
Thanks!
