Not the same issue. The fast idle cam overrides the warm idle adjuster (black knob) during start up. In some cases the engine screams when it's just started. This is adjusted by means of the screw on the primary throttle shaft which is only accessable when the throttle is opened fully.

I wait until it goes to a slow iddle. No hurry. I´ll start the bike a few minutes before I´m ready to leave

I really don't think it will hurt anything to take off after giving it 30 seconds or so to warm up. BUT, the bike will operate more predictably once the fast idle is down.

Wheres the pictures? Looking to do this on the weekend and quite frankly clueless on the position.

Open the throttle completely and the screw will be facing down as in the pic. I believe you tighten the screw to bring down the fast idle.

3/4 of a turn clocwise takes the RPM to about 1600 when engine is cold. I will go 1/4 more to take it down to about 1300 to 1400 RPM. I'm happy with this
