If it's hit outside and the bike's warmed up, I idle mine about 850-900. Otherwise 1050-1100. I love my idle adjustment knob. It's on a 1" long or so cable that hangs just under the bodywork for swift adjustments.

+1 the remote idle knob is a must for a carbed bike IMO.

If anything old gas will make it idle slow.

+1000 on the idle screw / cable. OEM spec is for a 95 S2, but I installed one on my 98 S1W as well, it replaces the screwdriver idle screw with a cable and knob that you can reach anytime.

IIRC recommended idle is 1050 for oil pressure; any lower will reduce idle oiling and can cause problems.

Yeah, it's not on my S2 and what a pita to adjust the idle after it's all put together. I'll go see American Sport Bike. :-)

Thanks!
