Though I have been riding the bicycle a lot more than the motorcycles I have managed to start riding the newest commando I bought. It finally runs well after a year of work and has proved to be very reliable this summer. I has one small issue I believe to be a fueling issue. The bike has a single amal sleeved and pazon electronic ignition. It starts first kick and once warm idles nicely at 600 rpms, never dies never falters. After riding it for awhile and stopping off somewhere I kick it and it wants to die immediately unless I give it throttle to keep it idling above 1000 rpms, even at 1000 rpms it seems to wander up and down. Occassionally it doesn't want to start once hot. Generally the idle issue lasts a few minutes and then the bike returns to it's flawless state of tune. If it doesn't seem to want to start at all once hot I have found holding the throttle wide open at least gets it to fire. I tried leaving the fuel off until I start it. I tried tickling it before starting it , but neither seems to help. This isn't a major problem just wants to start hard when hot and is bothersome and I'd like to fix it any suggestions?
