Tuning the idle to 1300 rpm (engine stalls)
 
My engine often shuts down/stall when I:
1) stop,
2) fire her up without putting in some gentle throttle,
3) clutch coasting without throttle.
Per cayuse (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5086), I suspect my idle has too little fuel in the mixture.

Before I try it myself, any tips on how do I go about tuning the idle of my GZ 250 to 1300 rpm (per 2-7 of the service manual)?

Nope! Suspect that's completely the wrong suspicion. See both my & WW's replies in your other thread. :)

I have to use the idle knob everytime i start it cause i dont have a choke on the bike. (Yet). I do it by sound, as bike warms up i turn it down, but when i start it i may turn it up 4-5 full turns, and back it off as idle picks up speed. Do it by ear man, sounds like ur driving urself crazy.
