Just bought a 01 drifter, after riding for a month all of a sudden, after riding and warm up the idle speeds way up , newbie here would sure appreciate any help. also fuel tank cap leaks after fill up, for a few miles. thanks George Farris < New Mexico
Fast Idle:
Let the bike warm up and settle. Look under the right side air box cover. You will see a black knob... you can use that to adjust the fast idle. (you may want to ensure the "choke" is not pulled out as well.)
Gas cap leak:
Ensure you only fill to the bottom of the screen inside the tank. Any more and you will get leakage. If you still get leakage, ensure the vent is clear.
Thanks Chief, I appreciate all the help, great to have such a good forum, very well done.
Found the adjustment, rode today nice here In NEW MEXICO, I must say I have rode, BSA, Triumph, Honda, 77 Shovel head, 88 ultra classic,95 ultra classic, 98 softail, but I must say I like my 01 drifter the best, overall handles easy, lot of power, with my ape's and bags it is a head turner too. Thanks Chief for the help.
