Subject: idle movement


Hi Everybody,

Rebl was right and I found a way to make a short test ride with 
my new AT, although it was painful.My broken thumb is 
there to teach me PATIENCE. Now, I am going downstairs
into the garage every evening when I'm back home and start
at least its engine and listen to and try to be used to its
twin sound.

The idle speed was too low (800rpm) about which the first owner of it
has mentioned that the service who made the 1000km. maintainance
decreased the idle speed, claiming that so will it be better. 
(this is ONE thing which I never understand
in Turkey but every 9 of 10 motorbike mechanic tend to decrease the 
idle speed of the bikes???) So I increased it to 1200rpm as written in the
manual but 
there is one thing I noticed making this which is different from my previous
TDM. 
When I give gas in neutral and then leave the gas, the RPM does not go down
to idle speed immediately but it stays a very short time around 2500rpm,
then
around 2000rpm and finally down to 1200rpm or so. Is that normal for an AT?

Bye
Aziz
