setting idle speed without rev counter

13-04-2012, 08:16 PM

Any idea how i can set the correct idle on my bike? Its a 1994 m600. I know its idling low but dont have a rev counter or a pickup i can use from the ignition lead.

I suppose i can just raise it a little by using my ear to judge it.

we have a little unit at work that we use to get the revs on bikes with no tacho when we are noise testing them, it clips onto an HT lead and gives an analogue reading, think it cost about £15 off of fleabay bud

Just use your ear, well maybe a screwdriver too
