Idle Adjustment
I just ran a search on the Google as well as here on StuntLife to see if I could find any good articles on idle adjustment and stuff.
Well, I didn't find much.
I've been stunting my CRF150 on my idle set at the lowest since i first bought it primarily because I didn't feel any need for a high idle. (I was really just trail-riding and doing simple wheelies before.) But now that I've gotten my rear brake down, I'm going up higher and doing more stunts that need that higher idle. I'm not sure how high I should adjust my idle.
So if anyone's got any ideas or can lead me in the direction of an article about this, that'd be cool.

Re: Idle Adjustment
best advice is to just start messing with it...
turn up your idle enough that you don't need to use the gas to keep your front end up in a slow wheelie. but don't have it so high that your constantly on the brakes keeping it from going over bp.
Really the only thing you'll need idle up for on that bike is no handers.

Re: Idle Adjustment
I'll try that, but aren't every different type of bike have a different RPM, meaning a different idle settings? Like don't smaller-cc dirtbikes have lower RPMs than sportbikes?
