Noob question

Post by Catworst »

Ok, so I've had the bike one day and haven't had a proper look in the daylight yet, but I'm struggling to find the idle control. Can someone please point me in the right direction? It's an 87 Gen thou UK spec.

Cheers!

95,
Is the 87 1k different than our 95 600's? I just wondered cause you said right side and my idle is on the left just in front of the petcock. About where your left knee would be while riding, up under just a bit.

Chris.

It's on the left side under the tank. Remove the seat and tilt the tank up and you should see it.
