Does the r1150r have one? If so where is it?

bono, from your questions I'm assuming you have no manual. There is no master idle screw such as you'd find on carburetors. The bike is fuel injected and there twin throttle bodies. One on each side. These have to be synchronized at idle and at increased RPMs.

There is a really good tutorial on the ADVRicer forum and probably several discussions here some place if you can find them.

You'll need a TwinMax or other synchronizing tool to do this. But anyway, in the process of synchronizing at idle, you adjust the idle RPMs with the same Big Brass Bypass screws on each throttle body. It sounds more complicated than it really is.

Read up on TB synching in the other forums and it will get you much farther ahead than me trying to explain it here. If you can't find those articles then just ask here again and we'll work through it for you.

Please be sure to have some box fans blowing on the cylindars when you have the engine running for maintanence. These engines will over heat before you know what happened.
