Quote:Hello all, I've just bought an '02 900. Ridden back from Bath to west yorkshire. Never ridden a twin before so found it strange at first, but did plenty of overtakes up the Fosseway and found there was plenty of power. I had an fz1 before and found the high revs and power unuseable in day to day riding. TDMs power is very useable and there's plenty of torque for my style of riding. Like the riding position, though the dash seemed miles away. It's fair to say my bike has not been loved, but that's why it was so cheap.Â
So just to get some essential add ons- engine bars, luggage rack and taller screen and fit my hot grips, and I'm sorted.
Few mechanical issues to sort- indicators flash too quick and suspension is awful... probably badly adjusted and can be certain fork oil has never been changed. The idle speed whe warm is 1500 rpm. Thzt seems quite fast to me. Can anyone tell me what it should be?

idle speed on a 900Â is between 1100 and 1200 RPM, i find it works best when it's closer to 1200
