I am wondering what the idle is suppose to be on these 900's I've searched but have not found any valid information. Right now my sled is idling at 1950-2000 is this ok?
Thanks

Idle?
- Thread starter Bigrd1990
- Start date
That's a bit high, but sometimes they do that when cold or after a long, hard pull... it should slow to somewhere between 1350-1700 or so depending on the TPS setting and other variables after a few moments. If it doesn't then you may need to have your TPS recalibrated or you should check for any possible air leaks around the throttle body boots or the crank seals.
Did you just purchase your 900?
I bought it back in June. And I just got the clutches back on it. And I don't remember it idleing that high. I did the FNI airbox,clutch kit,slp can,slp torque arm,bal primary bal and slp hot air elmination clutch side.
I notice when I put it on my stand and run it real quick and let off it drops to like 1650 than creeps back to 1950-2000. What's considered operating temps on these sleds? I'm going to start it up after work today and see if it drops down after it is up to op temp.

ok.Ill check it and see what happens
well I let it warm up to 130 and it settle to about 1850-1900 and would sometimes spike to 1950-2000 I'm not to worried about it hopfully when its cooler outside and not 45-50 degrees out it will settle down more.
Also
I checked for leaks and there wasnt any present.

I looked all the boots and seals over and everything looked good Ill have to double check the cable though.
A visual inspection might not be good enough. Spray some carb cleaner around the throttle body boots, cylinder base gasket seals, and the crank seal... if the engine sputters or dies then you know you have an air leak.
When I purchased mine after it was rebuilt it wouldn't idle below 1700+ RPM in town... after I rode it in the mountains it would behave in the way I described in my earlier post... idle control can be a bit spotty from time to time... I suggest you do the carb cleaner leak test and if it passes, then just continue to monitor until you get a chance to ride it in normal sledding conditions.

Well I sprayed the throttle body boots crank seal and cylinder base gaskets and they all checked out fine. It must be the tps sensor that's off ill have to figure that out next. All I know is I can't wait to ride this beast!!
Sorry forgot to mention I'm a Flatlander...my bad
Just went out and checked mine and it is also running up around 1900-2000. TPS is set dead on but will it need to be readjusted if I would adjust the idle screw?
From my understanding I think so...
Alright, before I adjust the idle I think I will try to adjust the cable to give it a little more slack to see if this will bring it down at all.
