HELP. I just got a new 2007 FE650E (USA Version) from the factory direct. I set it up straight out of the box and fired it up but it wont idle, and on deceleration it backfires more than it should.
I set the fuel screw to the factory spec in the manual (half a turn) and literally turned the idle wheel all the\way out (so far that the cable is eexcess - S-shaped) and nil difference. It idles ok if I hold the throttle open at about 1 cm of twist but not when I let go - instant kill.
It backfires less with the choke on but still wont idle. I then turned the fuel screw out until 2 1/2 turns but still no change, backfires a little less but again, no idle.
I drained the float bowl as there might have been old fuel in there but that didn't make a difference.
Can anyone suggest what the settings are for this "USA" version because the manual specifies all the models except the 650 USA version. I feel that the mixture is too lean. Would it be best to maybe adjust the needle position?
I would think that the bike would be ready to ride coming straight from the factory. The dealer I ordered it through in Finland said that it would have been dyno tested before preparation for dispatch.
HELP. ANXIOUS!!!
