Isn't it supposed to be set at 1100 ???

**prakash_mvpa** · 10-06-2009, 01:25 PM

Their funda is that idling at least RPM possible without stalling is best for long engine life&higher mileage.
My Fiero F2 manual also states 1500RPM as idling speed, but it has been idling at 1100 happily since the last 5-6 years.

After the last service my FI is idling @ all RPMs between 1300-1900 RPM

I didn't go to SVC for that bcause it has completely stopped it's stalling at low speeds "character"

you guys are confusing yaar, its not fair !!!

**nox2505** · 10-06-2009, 10:28 PM

I keep mine at 1200 RPM

. If you regularly switch off the engine at signals

, you can opt to keep it 1500 or anything. But, keeping it higher will lower the engine braking and bike will consume more fuel unnecessarily at retardition also. 1100 to 1300 is fine if you can clean the air filter regularly, or your riding conditions are not so dusty, causing the restriction to air flow and ultimately stalling of engine.

Renny its just a khat sound whenver the bike goes over the potholes or speed breakers, usually if you pass them on slightly higher speed than you are supposed to.

Off late i dont hear it, I know for sure that in my case its not the handle as I had got them checked intially.

Try tightning the handle bar check nut. If its set well, change the cone set.

@renny: If the cone set is defective, u cant do anything by tightening the handle bar. Handle will become tight, but still the noise will come on potholes. This fenomenon indicates that the recess of male or female cone or both is defective (not turned properly).

both of you go to the SC and get it tightened,that will eliminate the noice...

i dont think the handle bar is the problem
read->
i was going down the slope.at a speed of 40kph,i saw a speadbreaker(plastic or fiber whatever).which are really small.i braked hard the bike came down to 5 to 10 kph.the front shock where fully compressed(i guess).when the front tire went over the small breaker,there was this loud noise.so tell me what would be the prob?

**prakash_mvpa** · 10-07-2009, 02:46 AM

@snehil:So,Many Apache owners faces this issue.Cone Set However Adjusted in My Bike as of Yet did not resolve this Issue.I am going to Ask to Check Front Shocks Next Time.
