Services my 2002 1150 before setting off to the Alps and set the idle noce and low, because that's how I like it.
If you're on top of an Alpine pass, will it idle slightly slower ?

Thinner air...less air...richer mixture.

Well If it does and you can be bothered just unscrew the idle screws a half turn each until your happy. Once at a lower altitude do the opposite, again, this time until you're delirious with joy.

Thanks Neil !!
To be fair it's not stalking or anything so I'm not worried/bothered, just wondered if there was some reason physically for it !!
