Noticed after the bike has warmed up. My idle will surge from around 1200 to 1275 maybe 1300. This happens at a rate of about once every 6-7 seconds. I've noticed this since my bike was new, but from some reason it is bothering me. Asked my brother about it, but he told me should have bought a gixxer. he said it normal because of the carbs. what do you guys think.

Yea, its a carb thing. You gotta love all things EFI (electronic fuel injection). If you're that concered I would sync the carbs, but only 100 rpms? Obviously not suhweet, but I had one that swung from like 1.2 - 2.5 or even 3. Do the sync, or be happy its not worse.Comment

$5 - $20 home made versionOriginally posted by gpggnnn
$45 cheap mercury version (MotionPro Economy Carb Sync)
$110 solid-slug version (Morgan CarbTuneII)
$600+ electronic versions (only makes sense in a shop where you're doing it all the time).

Wasn't there a poll on that? Yea, it just kinda depends on what you're looking to spend. Or how many times you'll use it. Some of the cheaper ones sacrifice reliability.Comment

if its only jumping 100 rpm's, thats not all that bad; before I had mine done last summer they were so bad it was fluxuating up and down by atleast 500 - 1000 rpm.....but if you are going to get work done to them (carbs) better to do it now, because the longer you wait, the more shops charge you to clean and sync them. Atleast thats the case around here.
