Title: Engine speed (TICKOVER)from cold
Post by: Delfox on September 11, 2015, 10:09:42 PM
I understand that the engine runs at higher rpm from cold due to more fuel and less air,but why does it go even higher in eco mode

when the engine is warm adjust the RPM to the required digit.

Little silver knob down in front of your left foot.

It's on a remote lead. And just dangles.  When you see it, you'll know what I mean.

The 'required digit' is a little low.   Run it up to about 1150 or so when the engine is warm.

Well, you'd need to make it bigger as I can't see it.....that sounds a bit strange doesn't it...let's put this another way...it has to be larger....no, that's not it at all.  I give up.

FFS OC...  :mfr_lol:

You will find the adjuster here.. It could be behind the fairing... But it will just be hanging down.
