2013 kawi girl · October 14th, 2012, 10:24 PM

Hi everyone~

Here is a video of me explaining how to adjust the idle speed because when I got mine it was at 2k

book says 1250 -1350. And I also explain the bike swaying left and right at idle. Hope this helps you guys.

Are you trying to move in on my video DIY business?

And you should really get a real pair of boots

Holy crap! I just watched my very first ever DIY video by a girl!!! Not only that, but to my surprise it had nothing to do with makeup or tampons!

I was thinking of doing a DIY on tampons but it wouldn't be as fun as the bike.

Please do, I've always been very confused on how to use them.

You do know that in FI bikes the startup revs are always higher than running revs... It starts at 2000-2200 and comes down to 1200-1400 in 2-3mins...

I'm pretty sure that the tank sway isn't simply because of the tank capacity or the engine configuration.

The pregen and newgen have the same capacity as the new bike. They also have a parallel twin engine. Neither of them sways.

My guess is it has more to do with the shape of the tank. Is it mostly flat on the bottom? I know the pregen has a pretty good hump in the middle, so not a ton of fuel sloshes around, and if it does slosh, it's a slow transfer, not a quick wave. I'm betting that between the tank shape, and the idle rpms, the waves in the gas are finding a resonance at the idle rpms and are basically getting big enough that you can feel it.
