gauges slow?

Hi guys,

Just bought a 09 250 with 1500 miles on it. not sure if this is normal or not as it is my first motorcycle. Seems as i change speed the speedo reflects the new speed very slowly. tach seems to move fast as you would expect. the fuel gage goes up very slow and seems to dip down often and then come back up.

Also what should my idle sit at? seems like every once in a while it struggles to stay at idle

appreciate it

Once the engine is fully warm, most people set their idle between 1300 and 1500 rpm. There is a knob down by your left knee (when sitting on the bike) to adjust the idle speed, but don't adjust it until fully warm or it won't be accurate.

Anyone else experiencing a laggy speedo? Seems like my speedo moves same speed no matter how fast I speed up or slow down. It's playing catch up. My fuel gauge goes up very slowly as well. Normal?
