Hi
Could anyone tell me the idle speed for this bike - it seems to be a bit high to me at around 1200rpm
Thanks again

1200-1300rpm don't forget it's a V-Twin needs the rev's for pulling away from standstill hope this helps

Around 1200rpm is standard for a lot of bikes now.

Suzuki says 1200rpm +/- 100. There should be a spot in that range that neither stalls nor hangs high before coming down. The 650's spec is 1300rpm +/- 100 so don't feel like it's too fast.

Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

I think its because I've just come from a 4 cylinder bike. Thanks for all your replies - it has put my mind at rest

That would be why. There are more pistons and more firing cycles involved in each revolution. It takes more revs to keep up an idle with one or two cylinders unless the flywheel mass is greater.
