RE: [ST] idle adjustment, engine cutting out

["Dan Wallander" <triumph99@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The idle is adjusted with the gameboy.  Your dealer has to do it.

It might just be one of those hiccups with the computer.  I had a similar
situation a couple of years ago where the idle just dropped and the bike
didn't want to stay running.  It would start again, just to die unless I
kept blipping the throttle.  Cycling the computer by turning the key on and
off several times solved the problem and it has not occurred again.

Got a new problem.  Seems that the idle has adjusted itself lower.  It
hovers around 11K.  Also, in situations where I take off, say in heavy
traffic, and then the cars ahead of me start to slow, I'll come off the
throttle and pull in the clutch and the engine dies for a second.  The tach
needle drops to 0 and then floats back up.  A few times it outright died and
I had to let the clutch out to let momentum restart the motor.

Any ideas?  How is the idle adjusted? I don't see a knob...
