Idle Timing For Spec 3

[BigDogs]

When i 1st got my spec 3 the idle was roughly 1.3 - 1.4, manual also says that it suppose to be around that range.

 

Then one day i brought down to one of the bike shop he said "eh ure timing so high ah" den he adjust down to 1. Now whenever i accelerate feels like not enough petrol going in feels like sitting in a SBS/TransIsland bus accelrating hehehe, once it starts to gain momentum den it starts to accelerate the way it used to.

 

Also when im at traffic light i ever tried like open and close my throttle really quick have that *Vroom* sound but now it has that *VrrVrr* like choking like dat, and sometimes it drops all the way down to 0 on my RPM after i rev like dat den bike dies.

 

Should i change back to 1.3? Scared FC go up. What are your idle timings spec 3 riders?

[quizesilver]

advise to set it at 1.2 which i set in the past.

cheers

the knob for idling, u shd know where is it rite? then adjust urself!! adjust to ur own comfort.

 

just remember, when u ride, close throttle, the rpm shd not drop below 1k else high chance engine die off due to low rpm. that is very dangerous esp when on the road...

Idling use how much petrol only ? very very minimal.

 

also you are not idling most of the time what.

 

i think everytime you rev and vroom-vroom, it consumes more petrol.

i dunno why but the factory setting for idling is damn high. my spec 3 is also close to 1.5k RPM b4 mi bike shop tune it down to abt 1k. i feel that @ 1.5k RPM there is not much engine braking as it feels as if you are still throttling when you let go of clutch and brake.

maybe its set 4 u to run in?

[buttbutt8]

but run-in need high idling rpm???

 

Anyway, i tune it down after i have finished run-in.

[buttbutt8]

i feel that @ gear 1-4 on mi bike, anything more than 5k RPM is very rough, dunno y...

Anione can advice on this??

[smiley73]

after overhaul my rpm oso this reading.... after run in stage they re-tune my bike again

[nebulaz]

last time on my spec 3, me also adjusted my idling to 1350rpm...+ -...much better for my bike..just increase the idling and monitor ur situation bro..easy and can do ya self..

u using stock pipe right?

 

i normally change gear 4- 5k seldom rev pass 5k

[buttbutt8]

but inline 4 engine is a high rev engine. Keeping it for a prolong period at low rpm actually does more harm than good.

[nebulaz]

i belief high rev engine means dat u need to rev it higher up its powerband to feel its potential

went to san fu the other day..

the guy damn funny ..say my idling 1 too high..should be 0.5

he told me class 2 bike also 0.5 isit true?

[JbAtRaCeR]

Setting the idling speed too low also not good,takes a longer time for the bike to warm up. Last time I also have the idea of low idling is better,but it takes longer time to warm up plus moving off is abit slow.

Btw, the idle setting knob is the one in the middle of the 4 carbs rite!?
