I hope someone can help with this,i have just got my first superfour its a 1993 model big one.
The tick over seems way to fast,but only when the bike has warmed up,now i am very new to this bike(only had it a week)and very new to bikes and my knowledge is very limited,can someone tell me how to ajust the tickover and what the ideal tickover speed should be?

How fast is a fast tick over? My bike idles slightly higher when its warm. Sounds like you just need to turn in/out your idle screw. Adjust it when the bike is fully warmed up though.

I think around 1000-1200RPM is the idle speed for this bike. Do you know where your idle adjuster screw is? Should be a knurled screw.

Online manuals if you dont already have them
