I will. These bikes are odd in that what they do to reduce overheating remains kind of a black box. Mine idles down to 750 RPM or idles up to 1500 rpm randomly during long city rides when it gets hot and then returns to normal once the temperatures drop.
I wish they actually discussed what it was doing in the owners or shop manual, as just having the engine and fueling characteristics change randomly is a bit disconcerting.

Hi kmoney. Any updates concerning the high/low idle issues many people are seeing? My bike has been running perfectly the last 1,000 miles. But, last Sunday the slow (750 RPM) idle and stalling returned. Seems to be a pattern here: The idle problems always happen when I spend time in town, at very low speeds (1st and 2nd gear), stoplight to stoplight with prolonged time not moving, and below 3k RPM when moving. I would say it's related to elevated engine temperature, but last Sunday the temperature was only in the low 70's. When I would pull in the clutch and put it into neutral at a stop light the RPM would drop to about 750, and slowly work its way back up to roughly 1,000. Is it possible that a faulty EOT sensor could be causing this? Thanks for your comments.
