    Idle adjustment '88 GSX600FJ

    Im wanting to adjust my idle - its currently sitting too low and has a habit of stopping too friggin much.. Ive downloaded a manual for the bike but the pictures were absolute crap - its talking about a knurled knob on the left hand side. I can see the choke but nothing else around there - what am I supposed to be looking for? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    look at the carbs on the back side underneth you will see a little knob/adjuster
    its in the most awkward place possible and its near on impossible to adjust unless you have little girl or carny hands have fun

    edit: yours is actually on a flexible adjuster cable, bonus!!
    it should come out just below the left hand carb

    Right in back of the carbs. Suggesting for ya. Find the knob when the bikes cold.get everything to twiddle and turn as its supposed to then start the bike and warm it up. its a tadd hot up under the carbs when the engines warm
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
