Is this normal or am I not doing something right? And because it's not quite 22 on the Carbtune, would this cause a knock? It seems to be audible in the exhaust. The bike is an 84 KZ750.
Thanks

Is there a way to check calibration on the gauge?
I can't see how slightly low manifold vacuum could make an engine knock.

Regarding the noise the primary chain will make quite a racket at idle if the carbs are out of synch. The racket goes away when running. Best way to check this is with a mechanics stethescope on the gearbox. I use a long screwdriver and put the blade to where I want to listen and put the handle against my ear. Thats the easiest way I know to pinpoint where a noise is coming from. If from the gearbox at idle then probably primary chain and good synch should clear it up.
Good luck

idle is around 1100
On my 80 750/4 the recommended idle is 1300 or 1400 and I have to admit I like it like that. Better take off. No noise

Really, the service manual I have which is a Haynes I believe says idle should be 1100rpms. But I guess thats for a new bike. I'll raise the idle and see where that goes.
Thanks JR

I was sure I had seen the higher figure so I went back and checked the Kawasaki shop manual and darn it you are right.
I guess I've been doing it wrong for the fast 7 years. :laugh:
Oh heck. I think I'll just leave that idle knob where it is as 1300 seems to work best for me.
Thanks
