Whats normal idle?

I dont drive my zed much. Went out and started it up half hr ago. When its warm what should it idle at? When the temp gauge got to the middle mine sits at bout 750rpm, sometimes dropping just a fraction below that. Thats in neutral. If I put it in park and sit with the foot brake on it goes up to just below 1000rpm. Is this normal? Cheers

    When you still get up to make a brew and feed your face. Now proper idle is when you really can't be arsed

    Mine sits right at 800 with the AC off (economy setting), but rises to 1000 when I turn the AC on

    yeah, mine wobbles when in neutral too, from 600 - 750, but sits just under 1000 with the car in drive with the foot on the brake and stays at that.

    Should be a steady 750rpm once up to operating temperature. Aircon should push it up to ~900rpm...

    Its more or less steady most of the time. Like Petes, best way I can describe it is as an occasional wobble.
