A different headlight question

[madmaxer]

Just out of curiosity what do you have your idle set at? These bikes idle high, idle set to low will cause them to die at a stop occasionally. They should idle at about 1200(+-50) anything below that can cause the bike to die at a stop. I say this because most peoples inclination is to set the idle much lower and then seek electromechanical solutions to the constant dying. Mine idles happily a little closer to 1275 without dying, I used to set it much lower and the same problem.

1150-1250 is pretty normal for me. I’ll turn it down if I’m just standing there listening to it but for riding 1200.
