Yes, listen to the engine. When the engine is HOT set it 'til it sounds nice and smooth, and you can't hear the individual thumps of the engine. Suzuki recommend 1200 to 1400 RPM. Remember that your car adles at around 860 RPM, so if you listen to that and set the bike around 50% higher, that's the starting point.

There is a free program called RPM Sound that can read the pulses and translate it to RPM for you, sort of a "tach ap". Might want to give that a try. Login or Register to Remove Ads Last edited by JohnC; 02-11-2014 at 03:53 PM. |

Here is a youtube video of someone who shows how to set the idle.
The idle speed right after he starts it, is good. |
