Is it a screw driver adjustment or is a trip to a meck.
Thanks

how high is high?

[enzo_imp]

1.2 to 1.4
That's at riding temp.

[the Ferret]

1.4 mine will run that as it warms up, 1.2 is in spec at 1.1 +_ .1 if memory serves me. There is no idle adjustment screw

There is no screw for idle adjustment. If you have a service manual, look on page 3-16. A number of systems can cause the engine to idle incorrectly. If all else is well, then "...check the following: throttle operation and throttle grip free play.
intake air leak or engine top-end problem
IACV operation.

Take in if you think its wrong. Idle is set by the computer based on a number of sensor inputs, etc. VFRpaul can probably explain it in detail.

OH, 1.2 is within spec. 1100 +- 100 rpm when warm

Thanks Ferret.
Hey popgun have you got the owners manual or work shop manual?

[Lord Popgun]

Shop manual

Edit to add. This was discussed some time ago and one user found what he thought was an idle adjustment screw.

There isn't one and that was for something you DON'T want to mess up.

[enzo_imp]

Booked in for first service and the mechanic agrees to 1.2, normal.
Popgun were did you get the workshop manual?

[Lord Popgun]

The Honda dealer. Or you can order direct from Helm. Its in the owners manual.

Helm prints the manuals, even the one you get at the dealer. Cost is around $65 if I recall correctly.
