Finally got to take the bike out on Saturday (50 in Wisconsin in Dec - amazing). Riding with the clutch out until it warmed up didn't seem to help the stalling much but after it warmed up I was able to adjust the idle so that I now have a small fart when I shut it off. Couldn't get me off it long enough for it to cool down to see if the idle adjustment also helped the stalling out. No salt on the roads yet - might be able to get out a time or two more.

Thank you all for your help. I can live with the fart - everyone has gas from time to time and I don't have to worry about the 80 yr old couple across the street having heart attacks when I come home on my bike. Grin

Keep riding,
Kim

BACKFIRING IN A THUMPER IS NORMAL.....

call me mean but.... Tongue

i've been known to approach a bus stop use the kickstand as a Kill switch creating the backfire. i'll do it a couple of times and watch the crowd scatter thinking it's gun shots.. oh well it's fun and nobody's shot back Yet.

The other day I rode to the local ATM and scared the s--t out of some guys who looked like a couple of gang members. They laughed when they realized it wasn't a gun shot. A good laugh for the day!

One time I was out riding in the country, and saw a herd, swarm, clot (?) of horses. Very idyllic. I slowed down to take a better gaze. Guess what? BANG! The horses scattered. It was kinda neat to see. Sorry to have spooked the ponies, but they did look neat running over the hill.
