Just a thought...You do realise that these bikes idle at a "high" revs! When hot (really hot), this is the time to set the big white knob to 1200 to 1400 RPM. When you set off with cold/cool engine, the idle is much slower. When the engine gets hot, the idle rises to whatever you set it to, then slows down when the engine cools. That's just the nature of the beast. Could this be happening to you, and making you think that the "normal" idle of 1200 to 1400 is too high?
