1. BIKE STARTED AND WARMED UP FINE. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF RIDING BIKE WAS IDLING VERY LOW AT A STOP SIGN (800-900 RPM). POWER DELIVERY WAS CHOPPY FROM A STOP ALSO. AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT THE BIKE STALLED, AND I NEEDED TO USE THE THROTTLE TO KEEP IT IDLING . I SHUT THE BIKE OFF AT SOME POINT, TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE BIKE WAS BACK TO NORMAL. AFTER ABOUT 10 MORE MINUTES OF RIDING THE BIKE STALLED AT ANOTHER STOP LIGHT. SINCE FIRST OCCURRENCE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT BUT USUALLY GOES AWAY IF THE BIKE IS SHUT OFF, THEN TURNED BACK ON. . *NM
