Question regarding bikes running high idle at around 1500rpm: does that mean the bike is constantly running 500rpm higher as one proceeds through the gears, or just at idle when in neutral?
For example, I think in 6th gear at 70mph I was running 3200rpm before my high idle issue started. Should I expect to see rpm at 3700 while going 70 in 6th gear now?
I'm travelling now and can't back to riding for anther couple weeks, so I'll test that out, but I'm wondering in the meanwhile. Also, if this becomes the new norm for me, what long-term issues might arise if nothing is done? Worse gas mileage maybe right away, but other implications?
