My bike idles kind of slow and dies at stop lights, how can I raise the idle?
A slow idle is cured by adding a “Fast Idle Plug” (sometimes referred to as a relay or chip). The plug is pretty cheap to buy but isn’t real easy to put in as the gas tank has to come off (see Tank Off article). Once the plug is in place (there’s a socket for it in the black plastic box under the Motronics unit), the battery needs to be disconnected and the ignition turned on and off several times (while the battery is disconnected). This is to ensure there is no memory left in the computer so that when it reboots, it will recognize the new map.
