Check your motorcycle's manual to find the recommended idle RPM. The ideal idle speed for your bike is listed in your manual.

This makes it kinda uncomfortable and I would like to correct. I am wondering if this is something I can adjust easily myself or if I need to bring it to a mechanic. Use a flat screwdriver to turn the idle speed screw to the right to increase the idle speed, or turn the screw to the left to decrease the idle speed. Start the engine and let it idle. If the idle is too low, turn the screw to the right a quarter turn at a time until the idle is at the desired speed. 5nnf.
