well since the bike got jacked and they stole my tool kit/owner's manual, anyone give me a link or step my step instructions on how to do this? i see where the throttle cable connects on the side of the bike, but not too sure how to adjust the 2 nuts and i dont wanna fuck anything up

any help is appreciated :thumbup:

not sure exactly how it is on the gixxer but on my RR there was a little black knob near the right rearset, all I had to do was twist it...

with my 04 GSXR 1000 you have to take the tank off, and on the right hand side of the throttle bodies there is an adjustment screw to change the idle. On my 00 GSXR 750 it had a black knob right near the radiator overflow resivoir.

Look at where the throttle cable connects. There is a brass screw rotate that screw to adjust your idle.

and yeah i wish they just had the knob, my boy's R6 has that too

Its convienient but its not, with the knob anybody can walk by and screw with your idle.

and if they screw with your idle, who cares, its easy to change back :lol:

ski, did you raise the idle when you were ridin track? at what?

 

[skibum91]

I had it at about 2500-3000.

i take it that helps with launching/going thru turns :thumbup:

There is either a black knob near the reservoir, or a brass thumb screw near the throttle cables on the throttle bodies.

You should not have to play with your nuts :lol:

I actually had to race the last 2 hours of a 3 hour race with race fuel on my nuts..... because my pit guy spilled it on me. This was a hare scramble in the rain at about 36 degrees...... worst dy of my life :boxing:
