I'm sorry guys - it's been a zoo at work, and I've been riding every day, but not getting home until after dark, so I've not been able to try ANY of the great suggestions yet!
Yes, I want to do lock-tight on the dang windscreen bolts - super!
And I cannot find the black knob on the carb that was mentioned - where exactly is that?
Can one of you tell me (in a few simple steps) how to make it idle a little faster and I will try that at lunch today. Should I turn the brass screw or something else?

My '01 idle screw is not black, just metal.
Ok, on the petc0ck side of the bike, look at the carb. You should easily see the choke knob and the throttle linkage. If you give the throttle a twist you should be able to see it move. When it returns to "no throttle applied" state, look at the area it's stopping. You should be able to see a little screw with a knob for a head (vesre a slot or phillips head) that is the Idle adj screw. Turn one way for slower idll, turn opposite for faster idle.
Idle is dependant on multiple things two of which are outside air temp and engine temp. For colder weather you may need to tweakl it a tiny bit.

You don't have your CD anymore? I'm disappointed.

Well I stalled out AGAIN today at a light on my way back from lunch. I had gone to Wallyworld to get some Seafoam (which they did not have).
Once again, the conditions were the same.
- the choke was pulled out (because of the cold)
- I had been riding for about 3 miles
So with photo in hand (thanks Greg!) I will go out in a bit and turn the special screw to adjust the idle speed and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks guys.

You haven't been home since Monday? You need to ask for a raise!

I call that "forward thinking". Good job. That means that I can clean out my Photobucket now
(hint: even I have to refer back to it from time to time....)

Not too much, now. Just see if it helps. But really, in cold weather 3 miles is kinda short to expect it to be very warm.
How about your clutch adjustment? Is it correct? (Yes, there is a photo in the "Frame" folder...)

Skatmbnc the owners manual also shows where the idle speed screw is.

I'm having this same problem and I was wondering what the final outcome was. When I pull in the clutch and coast for a bit, the bike will silently stall. It generally starts right back up, but it is happening quite a bit.

Adjust the idle up a bit. Maybe you can get a friend or the dealer to stick a tach on to check RPM's.
I have a tach and I do have to adj the idle if the temp changes. (say from riding in 65 deg F waether to riding in 85 deg F).

I did try bumping up the idle. It definitely sounds high (no tach yet), and it does lessen the problem but it hasn't gone away. I think my next step will be to lean out the mix screw 1/8 turn or so.

Try to find the center of the mixture screw setting. Turn it one way till the idle drops (best to go clock-wise (in). Then, while counting turns, turn the other way, thru max RPM and till it drops again. Then set the screw to the rich side of center between the two. You may need to make it slightly richer if the backfire comes back after adjusting....
