I've got a brand new 08 America and to me the idle speed seems far to low (as set from the dealer), what should the idle speed be? Off a closed thottle the bike really jolts and sometimes when slowing at a junction (to almost a dead stop) the engine will just cut out. I've adjusted the idle up a bit and the results so far have been positive, so far no cutting out and the throttle contlol is much better. I've been riding a 700 V twin which idles between 950 and 1000rpm and the Triumph sounds fast compared to it, being a vertical twin i know makes a difference but just wondered what it should be.
