The 900RPM estimate is when it's already warmed up, I think it was more like 1100 when cold. I'll check it out to make sure, maybe I should adjust it up just to make it easier on the stator. The 07 has the analog tach, so it's also possible that there's just some inaccuracy when I'm reading it.
When I tried to bump-start, I had enough power for the display. I got a really good push down a hill, I let go of the clutch handle and saw the tach at around 1-2k RPMs, heard the engine whining (engine braking). The bike slowed to a stop, no sign of any fuel-burning at all, tach was just showing the speed that the engine was turning from the wheels.
I tried cranking the throttle to see if fuel would make the engine speed kick up, I tried pulling the clutch handle back in, assuming that once the engine was running, I'd want to make sure I didn't stall out. I'm dubious about the need to press the ignition key as well, but it wouldn't surprise me that there needs to be some indication to the bike to prime the fuel injectors.
Maybe there is a difference between the models, there were a lot of changes between 05 and 07.
See post #9.
I posted the battery is about breaking even at 1300 RPM's... At 900, your draining it.. The idle screw adjuster is inbetween the tank and the frame, left side, star shaped screw, takes a phillips head screwdriver...
