Also, make small adjustments; it looks like you gave it a good two full turns from where you started (in total, not just after you turned the idle down by accident), which is a lot. Try it about a quarter turn at a time.
I'd go ahead and get your idle speed set to somewhere between 1200 and 1500 RPM (or whatever you prefer, but that seems to be the norm) and see if you can replicate the problem you described earlier. If this IS the problem you described earlier, then it looks like it's an easy fix!  |
Spencer I don't think there's anything wrong with your motorcycle. Did you do what brother Michigan said here? Forgetting to turn off your choke is common it's not good for your gas mileage but it's not going to hurt much.
