    Is there a way to up the idle on a fuel injection system bike as when its warmed it it idles really low and sounds like it's trying to cut out. I was thing getting a shorter throttle cable or taking it off n turning the throttle body a bit then putting back on. Don't fancy paying a garage to do it. Any help will be great many thanks Alex

    Your not supposed to do it, but there is a little allen screw under the throttlebody that you can turn in to adjust the idle, it should be factory set, but ive done it on 2 different bikes now

    unless its actually cut out just leave alone. not worth messing with it. maybe clean your injector but that's about all you can do. don't get adjusting nothing. if it still does it and you feel its going to cut out just hold the throttle on just a tiny bit.
