    You should have a knurled knob that adjusts the tick-over speed. Not sure where it is on your bike so maybe have a look in the owners manual.

    There is NO tick over adjustment knob on any EFI triumph. It is pre determined by the ECU..
    It sounds to me like you need your throttle bodies set up correctly. This needs to be done by someone who knows the Segem system not a back street mechanic.
    • Can I suggest Clive Wood in Swinehead Lincolnshire. Clive ran Jack Lilley's race team snd had instruction on the efi system by Segem. 077524 77738

    You will find that quite a few have a fast idle knob that pretends to be similar to a choke, Bonnies and thruxtons have them on the efi models but maybe the 955 does it automatically like my efi tiger

    Hi T552, sorry to contradict you, but you are not correct in this case. I know from personal experience that my 2010 T100 Efi had a black knurled knob low down on the lhs of the engine which adjusted the tick-over speed.

    This is in addition to and completely separate from the cold start control.

    When was it serviced last D1962 ?? If it has a cable operated throttle then you maybe able to adjust idle speed by undoing the threaded lock nuts on the outer cable and adjusting it this way. if it is a electronic throttle it may need it setting up by a dealer.

    I don't know Bonnies that well personally but there is defiantly no knob on a 955i RS

    Tis true thebiglad.....My 2012 Thruxton has the same Black knob that does indeed adjust the tick-over speed......So, for sticking up for you can I be included in the massive lottery payout along with el crispey????;);)
