Now.
The idle is whacky. if youre cruising and slow down, you can tell that it doesnt return all the way down. after you come to a stop, the idle hangs a tad high. drag the clutch and it comes down and stays there. if you rev it a little, sometimes it eases back down, sometimes it hangs up there a bit. its more annoying than a hazzard to riding or damage.

thanks!

Have you tried adjusting the idle mixture?If the idle mixture is lean it will cause the idle to be erratic and slow to return.Also valves need to be adjusted as close as possible to each other.
