Just put a bid in for some pannier bags....have been in car park adjusting idle speed as it has dropped for some reason!! circa 900 prm atm hot idle after Beowulf fitted...which i think is the cause of a stutter in the engine at low revs (i think)

I noticed the idle speed on mine dropped a little bit after I get back from our French tour - probably due to make the engine work a bit harder by having the revs up around 7-8k through a lot of those twisties  ;D ;D ;D ;D  Seems to be ok.

I think its was a bit more than that, the idle when warm was roughly 900rpm...this happened after fitting the new exhaust.....so my engine was already on slow idle in France....but recently i have noticed a stutter in the engine (in low gear, when pulling away.....proper on/off/on/off when slipping the clutch)...to be fair i suspected the throttle position sensor, or possibly air filter and/or throttle body vacuum. But i have spent some time reading through the service manual today, and suspect its to do with the ECu leaning the mixture off with the non standard exhaust and a low idle speed...we will have to wait and see

If this doesn't cure it, i'll slap in a new BMC air filter. Have also loosened off, lubed and re-adjusted clutch lever just to be sure...gonna check free play in the throttle tomorrow, but it feels right to me ::)

MOst ECU's go through a learning process when adjusting mixtures...you used to be able to reset the Honda ones...so you could get the ECU to start from scratch (so to speak)......any-one know if this is possible with the GTR???
It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

I'm sure I read it is possible. You need the Kawasaki software to do it. It was going to be one of my pet projects (part of my mission to put a homebrew computer on the Kawa which will let you monitor all sensors and reset data, including ECU). Just not got around to it

Which restaurant? Bradford, or Bradistan (I can get away with saying that  :D), has some good curry houses. Mumtaz is overrated imo
