Just a quick question....... what should a 2003, R1 tickover be?

I like to set any vehicle ticking over at about 900 to 1000 rpm

tony

If it helps book value for gsxr1100 is 1200rpm I think...

98 R1 is 1000-1100. It idled very badly below this.

1000-1100rpm

Cheers, i'll warm it up again tomorrow and check it.

Seemed a bit low today and the DigiDash wouldnt clear the OPA unless i kept the revs at 1100 - 1200rpm

Depends what you've got the OPA level set to?

Most bike engines have a very low oil pressure at idle when hot.

I'm talking <10psi.

For that reason mine is just over 1000rpm (I'm a lot happier seeing 10psi or so!)

that spooky i was adjusting my tick over today and upped it to suit the oil pressure

my zx is now running 1200rpm at tickover
