bike dies at idle, keep a little throttle on and it's fine, power seems good. Bike usally idels at 1k rpm, must hand throttle around 1200 rpm to keep alive. Bike is stock with 10k miles.

Thanks for the idle input. This is my 1st post, just learning. Regards Colin

Idle speed is likely set too low. Try raising Idle speed to approx 1150 rpms using the knob inside the left air scoop.

It is the users first post, I assume he didn't understand that he clicked anonymous.

After you raise the idle, if you are still having issues, you may need a TPS reset, which can be done by a dealer or someone in your area with the ECMspy software.
