the bike should only idle that high if the choke is open when you warm it up. if your at a light or stop it should be around 1100-1250k rpm. as far as adjusting ask someone who knows about carbs

it shouldnt right cuz it revolutions per minute and not miles or kilometers.

The exchange rate at the moment in RPMs in oz is about 55c. So, in the US it would be about 1250, here in oz about 2100.

It's not the speed that kills, it's the sudden stop...

According to the spec on buykawasaki.com, the proper idle speed for the 1998 US and Canadian bikes is 1,050 ± 50 rpm.

Great thanks rob. However is do not have a clue how to adjust the idle or locate the adjustment knob. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Matt

Look down by your right leg just above the clutch cover and below the frame. You should see a black plastic knob about as big around as a nickel.

1300rpm +/- 50 rpm is what the '03 manual calls for...
