High Idle

[Buck]

So after going through some posts on the forum, still not finding what I need really.

After doing my first coolant change, the idle on Bear has gone up, it idles about 300-500 higher then it should (depending on the weather). Not sure what caused it to start idling higher, but it is starting to get annoying.

Is there an idle adjust screw on these old sleds? I know my last bike had one, but have yet to find out on a goldwing. I have searched through posts for a while and have yet to find out. If there is one, where is it? (picture would be nice if there is one)

The idle screw is on the right side above the stock gas filter. It is pointing to the right. I'm sure someone will post a pic, I at work on my phone.

Still is so odd, I remember someone changed a water pump or something and some other system started acting up. :headscratch:

Thank you for your help, the picture really helped. Was able to get the idol down under 1500.

Make sure that it is not sucking air from a dislodged vacuum hose or air fitting...

That could vary well be it actually, that would explain the chirping sounds I keep hearing. taking the false tank off tomorrow and checking every thing.

You should be able to get it to idle at 500 rpm, and smoothly, if not you have a problem. As stated could be vacuum leak, plugged idle jets.
