RE: High RPM



Sounds like a couple of things could be a little weird.  One of them might
be as simple as a linkage mismatch otherwise known as the out of sync.  The
other far possibility is you have an intake leak.  I have played with
multiple carbs and syncing for years and it is generally the linkage that
causes the problem.  If you have an intake leak get it fixed ASAP.  Lean
motors run hot and your running 11.2:1 compression means real hot.
The FI may only have one oxygen sensor and it is real hard to fine tune a
cylinder with an intake leak with so few data points measured.

		Mine did this too on the first day I got it, as soon as I
loaded the engine
		(fed in some clutch) the idle would return to around 1100
rpm and stay
		there, then as soon as I increased revs again it would idle
around 1800 rpm
		again. Today we put on about 250 miles and the only time I
noticed it was
		when I started it up from cold it idled fast for a few
seconds, then came
		down to 1100. Was pretty cool the first day and warm today,
still not sure
		if that had anything to do with it or not.

		Got my tank bag today, everything else (manual, top rack,
fender extensions,
		silencer, tank protector) is still on order. I think the
bars are low enough
		that I am going to get either risers (genmar) or Heli if
they make
		something. Has anyone heard from Heli and will they
accommodate the heated
		grips? I seem to be scratching the back of the tank up a bit
just because my
		jacket is rubbing on it a bit. I'm 6' and seem to have some
difficulty
		keeping away from it.
