dont adjust anything. if its a stock machine stock adjustments and equipment are fine. your issue lies elsewhere.
Mine did the same thing I could bring down the RPM with a flick of the choke but it would go back up. Took it in for a leak down test and failed horribly new engine later everything was good to go. My crank seal was good my problem was a reed petal delaminated broke off and went thru the engine, sounded like a common problem. The earlier 800R are notorius for bad crank seals leading to RPM creep
hey work2ride is that what you wanted to hear about your new sled?
which shop did you take it to?
if it corrects itself with the addition of fuel via the choke then you gotta think that maybe its a lean condition at idle right........
Or it goes fat and misfires slightly causing it to slow down.
Not pickin' fights. What I'm getting at is 2 strokes will often rev because there is really no reason for them not to. The amount of air/fuel to idle higher isn't much different. That's why some of the aftermarket guys came up with the Powerwings or VPI's to help solve this problem (amongst others)
First thing is to make sure it's not sucking air or having trouble getting fuel at idle.

LOL - I'm not picking a fight with ya either, I know you know your stuff - I'm legitimately asking, sorry if it came across as otherwise - that's the problem with the internet. To me, if you flick the choke and it idles down, possible lean condition, I would test for an air leak. If no air leak I would crank the air screw, if that didn't work I would fatten the pilot, if that didn't work I would go back to stock settings and try something else (maybe it misfires as you indicated). I guess my point was that a guy has to try something/start somewhere for a diagnosis. Giving the air screw a turn or changing the pilot is an easy adjustment - if nothing happens then you set it back to stock and look for the next potential.
You scared the chit out of me so I took it to the dealer, I have engine warranty until November 30th, I hope they don't fawk me around.
- Replaced the exhaust gasket because the exhaust donut was missing.
- The air box foam was ice and their was water in the air box, they cleaned that out.
- Clunked going into Reverse so they adjusted the chain.
- Adjusted TPS
- Valves are good
- No Vacuum Leaks Found
- Cleaned Clutches and put on a new belt( I wanted to buy one on the internet, oh well at least now I have it)
- While they had it apart I got them to install quick clickers
