Author Message   S1owner Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 07:23 pm:        Once my s1 is warmed up what rpm should it idle at? Having an issue with it killing at stop lights with clutch in if in neutral it's fine   01x1buell Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 07:26 pm:        i do not know if it is different for carb or fi bikes but the manual for the x1 says 950-1050 i let mine idle at 875-975 it likes that idle.   Hellraged Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 08:48 pm:        i idle my s1 at 1k   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 08:49 pm:        875-975 is low. Think oil pressure. And (since oil is your cooling system), think cooling.   01x1buell Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 08:52 pm:        true but it is still in the 950 to 1050 range.   Littlebuggles Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 09:38 pm:        Clutch might be dragging a little bit too, if it has to be in neutral to keep it from dying.   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 11:56 pm:        i'm sorry but its late and i'm feeling nit-picky... how does 875 fall into the 950-1050 range? do you do budgets for the fed? (all in good fun, just playin')   Brinnutz Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 11:59 pm:        I keep mine around 1050 or so...Seems to be the sweet spot. But then again, my motor is built a lot different.   01x1buell Posted on Tuesday, August 09, 2011 - 04:57 am:        875 was when it is cold and not at warm idle   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, August 09, 2011 - 06:30 am:        Thanks and I was thinking the clutch is dragging also   Davegess Posted on Tuesday, August 09, 2011 - 10:37 am:        It should be idling in my driveway waiting for me to ride it.   Nwrider Posted on Tuesday, August 09, 2011 - 01:49 pm:        Thanks Davegess... when I saw the title "Where should my Buell idle" I wanted to answer "In my driveway when warming up and at stop lights". My idle is at 950.. nice and lumpy there   Kalali Posted on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 - 11:39 am:        Others answered idle speed part of your question but the bike should not die with clutch pulled in. In fact it should make no difference in engine idle speed with or without clutch pulled in. Don't know if S1s have clutch safety switch. Something to check if they do have one.   Littlebuggles Posted on Thursday, August 11, 2011 - 07:12 am:        That was my other thought when I posted about the clutch dragging. If it lug's and dies it's prolly clutch, if it just dies every time the clutch is let out it's prolly the switch as Kalali has addressed. Look for a switch just behind the side stand hinge to locate it if you think the clutch adjustment is not playing a part in the engine shutting off...   S1owner Posted on Thursday, August 11, 2011 - 01:33 pm:        Ok. I adjusted the cluth cable and it works great cable must have streched or something it was fine on sat went on a long ride then it started doing it but all is well   Koz5150 Posted on Thursday, August 11, 2011 - 03:56 pm:        If it stretched, I would inspect it. stretching usually leads to snapping.   Buellistic Posted on Friday, August 12, 2011 - 07:04 pm:        BUELLers you must remember you have a mechanical oil pump which pumps directly proportional to engine speed ... IDLE RPM SHOULD BE SET AT 1000 RPM ...   S1owner Posted on Saturday, August 13, 2011 - 06:58 am:        Thank you
