Good afternoon!
So I've spent some time on this bike already. Made the purchase yesterday and took it on a low speed (lots of stops) test ride, and shortly after the deal I ran it down the interstate for an hour and a half to get home.
But by the time I got back in town, Whenever I'd come to a stop the rpms would fluctuate a little. By the last few stops before I got home the fluctuations would cause the bike to stall.
When I got home I let it idle while still warm in my garage and the RPMS would flutter until the bike would inevitably die. This morning it wouldn't start without giving it gas.
I've tightened the idle idle screw so that it idles around 1500 rpms without dying (haven't let it idle for more than a few minutes though), but the fluctuations of max 100 rpms are still present. I'd attach a video to this post to show what I'm dealing with but I'm having some trouble doing so. I can direct message folks or email them if more info is needed.
This is my second bike and the first bike I've done practically any maintenance on so consider my 100% green. Any tips/tricks/pointers are very welcome, the only thing I've done to the bike so far is adjust that idle screw, the rest is brain surgery to me at the moment.
Thank you all for the help and I hope to hear back soon!
