My (04) zx6r is idling too high (1600+rpm).
I have the idle adjustment all the way out. Any simple easy explanation??
Many Thanks

that will be a FI controlled bike i reckon.

Air leak or cable as previously stated, im afraid youll have to get the tank off to make sure the cable is not pinched or trapped.

Save me starting a new post

Bike righted itself all through the winter and now the warm weather has arrived its idling at 3k Shocked

Dont really know what im looking at but i removed tank etc. and saw there was a slight gap between throttle bodies and engine inlet rubbers (thought this might be something to do with it) pushed back in and no difference...

Throttle cables seem fine?

A slight gap?!? Shocked pushing it back in might not have helped because theres still an air leak, i'd be undoing all the clamps seating the bodies properly and doing them back up.

Are you suggesting this is the cause? I undone the clamps, it was a real fiddle trying to get them in, i'd say they could go in more but the rubbers are surrounding the bodies?

revs dropping slowly to idle can be caused by a small air leak, when i had one i sprayed some wd40 aorund the rubbers, couldn't hear a change in engine note, but i could see the wd40 being sucked in.

Fixed now, was indeed an air leak, angle of the inlet rubbers.
