Hey all

I have an 05 and 06 and both bikes are giving me trouble.
All carbs cleaned, valves adjusted, idle mixture screws adjusted after warmed up. Fresh oil change and newer spark plugs for both bikes.

My wife and I can fire up both bikes and they idle damn near perfectly at 1500rpm.

By the time we get to the highway (3-4 miles and a couple of stop signs) both bikes almost simultaneously are dying without some throttle. A quick idle adjustment by each of us (thankfully it’s easy to reach) and it’s fine. As the bikes get warmer it needs to be raised more.

Once they are parked and cooled down, a restart requires a re-adjustment of the idle or they will be reving at over 5000rpm at idle.

Any help would be great. Do we need to adjust throttle free play maybe?
