In the past I would have problems with the bike dying after a hard ride and I'd come to a stop. I assumed it was something electrical getting too hot.
Now I'm having a different issues, I'll ride and come to a stop and the bike just won't idle. The revs just drop. I can adjust the idle screw back up (I have one of Don Pender's single cable set ups) and it will start and idle just fine. Next stop same thing. Rinse and repeat.
Statically it will just sit there at whatever idle I want. But as soon as I go for a ride it dies at the stops. The idle screw is very hard to turn so I can't imagine it turning by itself but that's one possibility.
Thoughts?
Otherwise it's doing fine considering I've only put a few miles on it since the rebuild. Also I had forgotten just how long of a stretch it is to the clip ons. And how much you have to look up to see anything. I need to get the neck a lot more limber.
