You turn this thing in to raise the idle, and turn it out to lower the idle. JUST like on carbureted bikes!!! :mrgreen:

well would ya look at that i was wrong, you can adjust the idle on a FI bike :stupic

where's this "thing" located?

 

[blue03r6]

it's a gold colored screw above the clutch cover. if you have a 06 and up, they removed it.
but there still is a way to adjust it. it's a screw on the throttle bodies.

[Killians31]

is this the same for a 05?

 

[Killians31]

ya i had the same exact problem with my 04 r6... i just adjusted the idle a bit... its really easy.. you can do it without taking off any panels and you can do it by hand... i just turned it up to like 750-800 rpm range.. works great

i can read.... it wasnt gold, and was a little hidden. ended up finding it though.

Just an FYI guys... If you have a Dyno tune and you adjust your idle your map will be a little screwed up... adjust the idle to where you like it either BEFORE or DURING the tune.

 

[ADRENALINE RUSH]

yup...... they make it lot easier than other bikes, normaly you need to do the idle mod, i normaly use a 600rr idle cable on my other bikes.

Just looked up on the online manual. It says 1250-1350rpm's. Has to be when the bike is warmed up to operating temperature.

Badass, I just went out and adjusted it, Thank you! old post but still helped! :toocool: I thought it was the TPS

 

[bsmithinla]

[jblack]

Anyone know if this works for the 05? Not at home right now to take a look.

 

[menyceRsixxin]

Finally did this to the 04. Very easy. Mine wants to idle around 2k.

Anything wrong with that? Still need to install pc3 and +4 timing mod.

Thanks!

2k is fine. but you're sort of ignoring the underling issue
