[QUOTE="Chiefblueman, post: 1144120, member: 29249"] Okay, now I'm getting worried. Two SOS's in a row. Buttoning everything up after many farkles and maintenance items such as: AVCC installation, CCT replacement, valve adjust, LED lighting - LR4's, Skene controller, USB port, Powerlet, Datel, Jack's harness, etc. Gonna check that TBS before all the plastic goes back on. Starts up and idles fine (after I realize kill switch is off [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/fool.gif[/IMG] ). No leaks, everything works, Datel shows 14.3v with all 4 LED's on high, yay. I grab my new Carbtune and plug 'er in. TB's 3-4 are in almost perfect synch. 1 and 4 are low. Close air screws, adjust TP's to achieve balance, 3-4 remain good, 1 is out a bit, 4 a bit less. Once I synch up, idle speed raises and won't drop below 13-1400 with idle adjuster. Check throttle cable slack, good. TP tangs are resting on the stops, those allen headed screws with lock nuts. Still won't get to 1100. I can get good balance at idle and at partially open throttle, won't adjust down. If I twist the grip forward speed will decrease a little. Checked for vacuum leaks, none found. No hanging throttle, throttle response is quite snappy. 1300 rpm idle is smooth as is higher rpm. I guess I could accept this higher idle, but there is no adjustment, me no likey. I could probably put it back to the unbalanced state it was in but it's still close to the bottom of adjustment. Me no likey that either. This is with air bleeds screwed in, seated lightly, opening them only increases speed. This bike had a previous owner and I had the problem of slightly high idle, adjuster ineffective. Was able to re-reference with air screws when I bought it. Found many references on getting adjuster back in range because the adjuster wouldn't go high enough, my problem is the opposite. I really hope I don't have to mess with those locknutted set screws. Hoping it's something simple that will make me feel really dumb. Once this is taken care of I promise I'll just leave the damn thing alone and just ride it!! [/QUOTE]
