Warming up the bike.

I find letting the bike sit there for X amount of time is the wrong way to adjust things.

It got so hot that the low end was too rich. My bike would never get that hot sitting in traffic or riding. Adjusting the mixture screws perfectly but found when I ride the bike around normal and stop at lights, blipping the throttle (1/8th or less), it dipped below idle. Also would stumble when the light turn green.

Here's what I did to fix it.

#1 Ride bike around normally.
#2 Go home quickly put bike level with the bike still running (Used phone book under side stand).
#3 As fast as possible, Adjust mixture screw and blip throttle 1/8 or less until idle was right.

Keep in mind this is for Idle/low end adjustment.
