I have a 2007 R6S with a jardine slip on and it seems to be idoling at a low rpm. i realize a power commander would fix this but thats not an option. It idols at around 500rpm. Not to sure what the reccomended idol rpm is. Is there a way to adjust it? if so where.
I bought the bike with a stock can on it. Even with an aftermarket jardine exhaust the bike is soooo quiet. bike has less than 1000 miles so anything mechanically should not be a problem. Any input or tips are welcome. Thanks in advance!!

1st off you don't need a power commander for just a slip on, the stock ecu has more then enough adjustability to compensate for the little extra fuel needed if it needs any.

Is this after the bike is warmed up?? if not i wouldn't worry about it, but if you need to adjust the idle on the right side of the bike above the engine case below the tank there is a gold knob this is your idle adjust.

I forget which was is increase and which was is decrease but just turn it and you will figure it out

Yes this is after the bike is warmed up. Is adjusting the throttle suppost to be done after a slip on is put on? Also, what is normal rpm's at idol??

R6 S? The S models should have an idle adjustment screw. Right side of bike near clutch cover. Turn it slightly counter clockwise. Should idle around 1K - 1.2K
