I have mentioned on other threads and am still wondering What is the proper Idle speed for the Rocket. I have heard as low as 400 RPM and have seen min as high as 1200 ?
1. Is there a correct RPM
2.Does removing the cat box make a difference
3 What do other captains refer to as normal (speaking strictly of Idle RPM here, with no referance to sheep)

Triumph has messed with it so much at this point, I like it no lower then 825, and no higher then 950. That seem to be where they wind up when set up right. Triumph originally wanted a bit of a "lope" at idle, but must have realized it was a problem.

Removing the cat box should change in the idle speed if the map isn't changed, but not drastically being the stock mufflers are still restrictave.

While you're here.... Is the Triumph tool the only way to balance the throttle bodies? With tuneboy you can get the map sensor readings for each.. Can they be adjusted w/o the tool?



By the way, if you solve all of our issues what are we going to have to complain about???

I'm honestly not sure off the top of my head. I'll look into it for ya.

Issues If I can find things to complain about the bikes without owning one, I'm sure you folks could keep my nights busy

I an't got no issues with the bike other than.....I want 50 mpg, I want tires that last 30,000 miles, I want air ride suspension, I want headers that don't glow and finally I want the bike to be priced less than 10K....Thanking you in advance Mr. Bloor..................

I brought my '05 in for a 500 mile service (at 4500 miles). While there the dealer gave it a fix for the idle problem that was part of a recall. It had no problem w/ idle when I brought it in. Now it starts hard and idles the same.

The cat boxes are marked C for a full catalyst and NC for "no catalyst"

Excellent post Tomo, how about making it a sticky so its easier to find for future reference?

It is and has been stuck for a while. In the comman issues forum that is.

I had the poor idle problem and took it to the dealer after reading that there was a bulletin on the issue. The dealer fixed it for free. He wouldn't tell me what he did but since I've not had the idle problem since, I'm less curious.
