Ah the mighty power of KiPass reveals yet another facet.

Plus, it is stories like this (Kawasaki replacing the bike with a brand new one) that I think make us all glad we do not own Feegers (Fudjers).

<duckin', runnin' and grinnin'>

Great to know though and thank you for finishing off the story on the forum. Oftentimes, someone has a problem and we never hear the resolution.

Thanks for all the replies, Kawasaki replaced almost every part in the motor. including the crank, piston rings. valves, they even flew in an engineer. No one could fix the idle issue or stalling. So they gave me a brand new 2013 Concours C14 ABS. No complaints here. This bike runs like a charm. The idle stays at 1400 rpm all the time.

You probably should thank the dealer as well...

The C14 engine idle is controlled in the ECU
You're referring to IDLE MIXTURE, not IDLE SPEED. Idle speed is controlled by a knob you have on the left side of the bike, near the shift lever. And yes, I was surprised a modern bike had idle speed adjustment, but I like it MUCH better that way ;D.

OP, congrats on the new bike, but you need to lower your idle speed to 1,200 max when fully hot. I have mine right at 1,100, and it likes it the best. The N-1 shift when stopped is less harsh too.
