Svartpilen 801 Idle Speed: Is 2500 RPM Normal?

[OatmealPro]

I am using my bro's Svartpilen 801 this week bcs mine is in repair. The motorcycle warms up and just sits there idling at around 2500 RPM. I feel like it's a bit high, makes shifting into first a real clunk, and I'm missing some engine braking.

What's the normal idle speed for these? And can I even adjust it?
Thanks in advance for any feedback! Just curious what your 801s tick over at. I like a slower, even lumpy, idle if possible.

The Svartpilen 801 usually idles around 1400-1600 RPM, so 2500 is high, there's no manual idle adjustment...it's ECU controlled, it might be warm-up mode or a sensor issue causing that

It usually idles around 1400 to 1500 RPM from the factory, so 2500 sounds pretty high, maybe that could explain the clunky first gear and the lack of engine braking you're feeling. Unfortunately, the idle speed on the 801 is mostly managed by the ECU, so there's no simple screw to turn like on older carbs

Yeah, that is high and above the norm!
My friend's dash reported 2000 RPM but it was actually 1650 RPM when they measured again with an OBDII tool.
A high idle can sometimes indicate something like a sticking throttle cable, an air leak in the intake system, or even an issue with a sensor.
Have you guys tried checking if the throttle cable feels smooth and isn't binding anywhere?
Beyond that, you might need to take a trip to a dealer or a mechanic with the right diagnostic tools.
You definitely want that clunk gone for smoother riding!
