My Kats idling high at temp. Where is the idler screw?

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a Ride! ~Hunter S. Thompson -

Also, because I don't know if your kat is pre or post, post-kats have a plastic knobbie unlike the metal knobbie on the pre's.Current Bike: 2005 SV1000S K5 Red, 7,xxx miles, Hot Bodies Double Bubble Tinted Screen, Hot Bodies Fender Eliminator, Pirelli Diablo Rossi's, LED Flush Mounts, Front/Side/Rear Sliders, PC-III USB, K&N Air Filter, aTRE Mod, TechSpec Tank Grips, Solo Seat Cowl, Corbin Seat, HEL SS Brake/Clutch Lines.

If it's idling high, my guess is that the carbs are dirty.... and adjusting the screw won't fix it for long.-Steve

On my '88 1100 it's a remote plastic knob mounted to a angled bracket on the far left carb. Remove the seat then remove lh side panel/bodywork, be careful of plastic tabs. I'm thinking a warm engine should idle around 1300 rpm.

You don't (or at least shouldn't) have to remove the seat or the body panel. I can reach mine with my meat-hook fingers. Proper idle for an 1100 is 1,000-1,200 rpm when fully warmed up.Comment
