there should be an adjustment knob near the carb, that raises or lower the idle rpm. Some are screw adjusted on the carb body

I don't own an NSR but someone with one will answer where exactly it is

i suggest getting the haynes manual, its good bed time reading. Your learn alot just look and reading it.

These books also cover the service intervals, get one off ebay for a tenner - money well spent

1400 rpm + - 100
set pilot screw at 2 1/2 turns out
start and warm the bike for 5 mn then with the idle screw (the big with the spring) turn in or out to set 1400 rpm

Is idling to low likely to harm the engine?

no harm in idling too low, it will run low enough till it conks out Laughing
