Revs

Hi all hope every one is ok and riding safely "/.

Quick question.

What does your 600 idle at

And going along at 60 in 5th what are your revs

I think mine is slightly to high

Idle is a little over 1,000 for me. And... now let me work this out:

At 40 in 6th revs are 3,000, so at 60 they will be 4,500.

In 5th I think it's around the 5,000 mark.

Thank you . I think mine is spot on then other than my idle

Haynes has 1150 to 1250 up to '95 and 1200 to 1300 '96 on.

The engine labours a little at 1000 I find.

Set up when the engine is nice and hot.

Yup idle is best around 1200.....and at 60 your in the 4000-4500 bracket which is the setting for vibrate...better to kick it down a gear at 60 and up the revs ...feels so much better

The good thing about the new divvies is the vibration occurs at around 80, the bad thing is the screen/clock rattle/buzz is at 30 .

Grum.

You can achieve a lot with self adhesive draught excluder foam when it comes to fairing/screen/clock rattles. The fact that our sister company makes the stuff and I get it for the asking also helps.

The other place to look for a rattle at the front of the bike is - - - - - at the back. I had an annoying fairing rattle which turned out to be a loose spacer on my luggage rack, and another which was the little tail piece at the back of the seat, above the back light.

A slow tickover can cause the cam chain to slap around so its better to be running a bit quick than a bit slow.
