There is a black knob under the port side 'carb' that will set your idle speed, via a flex cable to the throttle stop. If you have the tach installed, it reads almost 100-200 rpm high (viewed from the driver seat), and I have to set mine at 1400 to get it to run well. Actual rpm is probably 1100-1200. Any lower than that and you will stall out at lights and cold starts will be too low and you may stumble a bit when you snap the throttle. Also, it will run smoother if you let it warm up fully before touching the throttle or riding. The EFI samples it's environment a while before setting itself up to boogie.'09 BA running tapered TORs, factory TORs tune and other wise stock engine. Happy trails...
