    Idle speed for 2002 fs650e

    The logitech vapor comp on my bike is telling me that it is doing about 1400rpm at tick over. Not sure if this is right or not. Does anyone have a view? Maybe the vapor is reading too high due to one of the factors I put in to it to programme it. Bike idles evenly and exhaust note doesn't sound...

    High idle when hot.

    After my FE 450 has become hot, the idle is a bit high for some seconds after going off the throttle. Is there any adjustment for this problem? Could it be the "throttle position sensor" making this happend?
