Tomo,

Excellent article! I too have the minor idle problem. 90% of the time it's a good idle with a little hunting (although the tach indicates 5-600 rpm, I chalked that up too inaccurate tach). Now and then it will drop down a 100 rpm so the tach indicates 400 rpm hunting to 500 and back. The engines sounds like it's going to die any moment (and I'm sure the bearings etc aren't liking it). When this happens, I help it with the throttle.

Two questions:

I did a search but nothing came up (including this thread) when I searched for 12 minute tune. I thought I read in another thread that this is simply a 12minute idle session. Is that correct?

Can you recommend an economical OBD scanner?

Thanks,

Jim

PS for informational purposes: I have the 06 in fast black with TOR and no cat (put on by the dealer prior to putting the bike in the showroom). The tech that did the 500 mi check confirmed it's the 54 map that he put in when they changed the pipes.
