should i get a tach or is the a certain number of turns for ideal idle?

i got a tach, for my 2011 Rubi it is between 1350 and 1450 RPM idle if I recall

can you do me a favor and turn your idle scree all the off then count the number of turns till you get 1350rpm,,if you don't mind

If it sounds good and shifts good then it should be good.

well i had it high due to water riding but it would move backwards in reverse so i lowered it and now it shifts slow, jerks when i let off the throttle and rattles weird

sounds like your transmission is getting ready to blow up on you if thats the case.

naa

i'd rather not fix something on mine that isn't broke, but for $25 you can get a tac that takes 4 minutes to install, i'd think you be able to hear how it sounds anyway really, let me know and I can send you the link to where I got mine
