Idle Ajustment?

I replied to your write-up and attatched it there.

Great. Thanks.

Thanks Scott! Something to mess with this winter. Don't think I'm going to mess with it til then.
They do seem a little out of adjustment. If I just push down on the throttle rail with my finger the idle goes down to were it should be. Nothing holding it up, it just doesn't quite close.

Doesn't hurt to spray some silicone lubricant on the return springs.

From the way the article was written, it sounds like the author was working on a K75.
When I did my 2 bikes IIRC I used cyl #3 as my base because the throttle cable attaches to that butterfly most directly without adjustable linkage in between the butterfly and the cable attachment.
I set my throttle lock and went from there. 3 to 4, then 3 to 2, and finally 3 to 1. After that then the brass screws were adjusted for fine balance and final idle set. All using just my TwinMax.
If I had made any adjustment to #4 I then also checked my TPS settings, and choke settings last.

Like Dr.Duck suggested a little lubrication doesn't hurt, make sure all is freed up.

Disclaimer: K75RT is my first bike and right now I don't know enough to be good on the diagnostics, just good enough to be dangerous.  Anyway, What you just described above is what mysteriously happened to my K75.  What I found was causing it but have no idea how it happened, is the TPS moved by itself to do just that:  The TPS was turned CW enough to slightly hold the throttle rail open, which I could close and bring idle down to normal by pressing on the throttle linkage.  While checking for every kind of linkage hangup, I finally removed the TPS and discovered the idle was correct with it off.  I reattached TPS, reset and tightened it up, and all's well ...... except for the inadvertent turn I made to the blue painted screw between #2 and #3 TB. :(  Still wondering how to proceed with that, even after reading the PDF attachment over on the TB synch thread.

The TPS was turned CW

Excuse my ignorance but what is CW?
