Idle speed

Can the idle speed on a 07 be adjusted? My bike seems to be idling a little low (around 800 rpms) and sometimes stalls at traffic lights.
 
u can get a long skinny screwdriver in under the tank and adjust it with out moving or taking anything else off i did it today

Needs to be 1150 + - 100 rpm :beerchug:

Technically, and specifically "that is" the specification. I like to be in that neighborhood, but I also reserve the right to make slight adjustments for throttle tuning. As for the idle adjustment, I've taken a Cross pen, and small flashlight and used that very seam that the picture illustrates above. Look through the seam and look for this screw (see image). That is what speeds up, or slows down the idle. Watch your tachometer and get it about 1/16th to an 1/8th of an inch above the 1,000 rpm marker. Play with it until you're comfortable with it.....

Also, and this is just me, but when I think I have set the idle, I rev and chop the throttle to see where it settles out... just me.
