Tell me if you're sick of me, really.
I found a video which I never saw before that outlines the idle pattern of my bike. I'm slowly investigating things as I get days off, but it's a lot easier to get distracted and go riding than sit at home and wrench on the thing.
Anyways, this is it:
YouTube
What on earth could be causing that?! Mine does that exact same thing and it drives me bonkers... Revs up pretty good (although please, if yours sounds different revving than in the video, do say so) and pulls hard without any trouble up to my current record of 215km/h, but idles like a pig and it's kind of embarrassing really. My buddy has TB pipes and his idles beautifully.
So far I've done:
-TB Sync
-Upped my Idle
Looking to do these tomorrow:
-Check plug caps and fix wires if need be (which I think might help, since I noticed my bike sputtering for a while after I washed it a week ago until it dried off)
-Try to ground the wire to adjust CO settings
Side note, I also noticed something strange. If I'm coasting at high speed and put the bike in neutral, when I let the clutch out the bike makes a brief "whirr" sound but nothing seems to come from it. No change in RPM, no feeling anywhere on the bike. At a stand still there doesn't appear to be any sort of power transfer going on, and that's with the bike on the center stand to ensure nothing is moving anywhere.
