Manual idle adjuster.

[locky]

I decided to disable the stepper motor and linkage and fit a Daytona 675 manual adjuster.
Basically I've removed the idle stop screw and replaced it with the manual adjuster.

What is the advantage in doing this change?

No more poor idling / stalling due to stepper motor shaft covered in crap, especially if in dusty environments.

Just put it all back together and it's worked as planned. Idle is super steady and set at 1100rpm.
No more stepper problems.

I removed the stepper motor bracket and put a slight bend in it so the shaft is clear from touching anything.
The linkage is rotated backwards and held in place with a zip tie to stop it fouling anything.

Please don't take offense, anyone but why does Triumph fit stepper motors at some expense if superior results can be achieved with a screw? I know superior results can usually be achieved with a screw but this is an honest question.

To: control engine idle speed; adjust air supply on engine overrun; correct for altitude and cold starting.
(all done "automatically" and within emission regs...)
No offense taken...
