I was out for coffee this morning not far from hom,a few blocks.I started the bike and started warming it up again after having coffee to go to my weekend ride and it stalled.I restarted it again and she fires up no problem.Then it stalled again after a few minute.IT fires up again and this time I revved it a little bit .Then I took her out for a 6 mile loop in the neighborhood.No problems but I canned my twisties weekend ride.Little worried cause I don't wanna be stuck out some where far.I got home and checked all my electrical connection and seems fine.I checked my air filter since I didn't check it when I did my 1G tune up.I saw some oil in the airbox.It's not a lot,but is causing this oil being there?Do I need to worry about the stalling during warm up thing?This is the first time the stalling during warm up happened since I owned the bike.I did get caught on a heavy downpour last weekend.Maybe it's nothing but I thought I ask anyway to fix it before something happens.And no I didn't over fill the oil.I measured it and rechecked after I took it out to warm it up.I actually added a little bit more to bring it to the middle of the two lines.

Redster,
A long shot, if it happens again check the connector behind the front sprocket going to the stator. One rider had a wet cut off problem and found that the connector was holding water. Oil in the air box; be careful not to over fill the oil tank. On your next oil change put exactly the right amount of oil in and check the level when it is hot. That is your level. If you keep the oil tank filled to the high side of the fill mark, the bike will use the oil through the breather. I keep mine(Uly, xb12x) at the XX mark when hot.

The oil in the airbox is normal. That is where the breather is located. It's an emission thing. I've ridden my bike in a few really bad rain storms without any issues. Just keep an eye on things. Is your idle too low maybe? My bike has stalled when I'm warming it up a couple times as well.




The winner is the one that has the most fun.

The dealer reset the TPS for me.THe tech might have adjusted the idle speed a little bit below what it was(1050 rpm)Right now it's inconsistent,a shy bit above a thousand RPM.
