Dave asked what the idle does when I go to neutral and disengage the clutch. The idle stabilizes just as it does when I fully compress the clutch lever to the bar. I have only experienced the high idle (1,600 RPM) once when the bike had under 1,000 miles. It was a very hot day and it hasn't done it since. I've never had the bike stall during it's idle fit but it does vary quite a bit (500 - 600 rpm's) when it starts acting up. It is weird that fully compressing the clutch or going to neutral calms it down.
Have you had your clutch serviced? Warped plates, faulty springs? Does your rear wheel creep on the center stand in neutral?
