Aloha to all, I've been searching different topics for a few days and couldn't find anything that resembles my problem. I've purchased a 2006 FZ6 with 7,800 miles which is all stock with the exception of bars, grips, levers and a 48t rear sprocket. I've only put about 100 miles on it but a few things seem a little abnormal to me and one could be related to the other. I believe the thermostat and cooling system are fine. I have the blinking tach lower bar until the bike warms up in about 5 minute when the temperature gauge goes to the third bar and stays there. The bike seems to have a bit of an extended cranking 3-5 seconds before it fires up but when it does it idles smooth with no chugging or surging. When it's fully warmed up it idles just above 1600 rpm 1610-1680 is the digital readout though it doesn't seem to be surging. I've found what appears to be the idle screw on the left side of the throttle bodies, I turned it about 1 turn in each direction with no change in rpm up or down? I'm almost thinking a vacuum leak which could cause both concerns though I'd expect some surging with a vacuum leak. I'm looking at a set of LeoVince pipes but would like to know I don't have any problems before starting any modifications. Sorry to be so long winded but I wanted to ad as much information that I thought might help. Thanks to all who take the time to read this and offer assistance, Mahalo...
