Hello everyone,
I would like to get input of experienced owners before I have to argue this with the dealership any input is appreciated.
I complained to the dealer during 2 of my visits for maintaince that the bike was stalling for no reason. Their fix of the problem was to kick the idle up. The first time it didn't go that high; now the bike is idling at 1,500 to 1,600 RPM.
I never ride in traffic, except for yesterday. Very heavy traffic and the bike started to overheat. I had to shut it down.
Is the idle too high?
Are they just masking another problem by adjusting it to those levels?
Could the overheating be related to the higher idle speed?
Could it just having compounded another problem? Fan, fluids etc.?
I will have the bike checked out, but I would like to know if they're taking me for a ride, so to speak.
Thanks,
-Eric
