Try to spend as little time as possible when setting the fuel mixture....as the oil pressure is low and the engine is not getting any cooling air flow, and don't let it lean over on the sidestand as the oil does not get to the uphill cam lobe. I adjust the mixture while sitting on the bike and holding it upright.
Why is it necessary to drop the idle? I'm still learning about these carburetor things...
And thanks for all the advice regarding idling; my blue exhaust header thanks you.
