Thx for all the input. I drilled out the caps today and adjusted the idle screws after thoroughly cleaning them. I also discovered what I think the culprit is, one cylinders float needle was leaking slightly, so I think what was happening is it would start and idle ok, and then fuel would slowly flood the one side which is what would kill the idle and then be tough to restart..

Since I'm there I'm going one step up to 108 mains and one shim under the needle. Everywhere I read said these bikes were lean and one step up on the needle and MJ helps them quite a bit. Please stop me if this is wrong but every liquid cooled Kawi I've ever worked on has been lean stock.
