Idle RPM?

[leatal]

I have to ask- What is the best idle RPM in hot climates? I thought I read sometime ago that Nev recommended setting the idle RPM to 940 or 950 to ensure the rear of the cams get sufficient lube. Also to run 50 weight oil. I can't find the thread, but see the OEM idle is set at 850 and Hanso sets it at 890 RPM. Curious to see what you guys in the know recommend for the idle speed in hot (+90F) climates.

I definitely set mine at the Nev recommended 950 R's for better oil push

My touring is around 850 to 900.

I am pretty close to you and I run mine at 950, 850/900 would be fine not like you are sitting in traffic for hours at a time.
