Posts: 1604 Colorado Springs, CO Gender:	How Do You Measure RPM When Setting Idle Speed? 07/05/07 at 20:26:05 For years, I've been setting the idle speed on my dirt bikes and my Savage by ear (no tach). For those of you without tachs mounted on the bike, how do you set your idle speed? TIA!

No really, I just put it a little higher than I like, to make sure I'm on the safe side with oil flow.
