I too am going to heed that advice. I think maybe I shouldn't be chasing
problems that may not really exist. I am pround of my first valve
adjustment. Also pround that I have seemed to have fixed that oil leak.
Thank you guys. Tightened up that 12'o clock head bolt and no leak after
25 miles (leaked after 5 miles before).
But this dying at stops is driving me nuts. I'm going to wear out my
starter. I tried following the manual for idle adjustment, marking where
I started. Ended up back with the original marks. Oh well.
Can I fake it? If I could get the throttle grip not to return all the
way, I would think that would give me the edge. After all I am opening
it up at a stop to keep from dying. Can I do that?
Either way, the rest of the summer is just riding. Other than a new
seat, I'm not going to worry too much about the other stuff (I hope).
I'm going to see if I can't make that VMD on my bike, unfortunately the
wife syas we are moving that weekend, so I will have to see :)
Thanks for your help guys,
-AJ

That's good advice Greg, and one good reason why is that it sucks to have newly painted metal and polished chrome on a bike that you keep having to dissasemble and reassemble because you found another new problem. Your new paint ends up getting old in a hurry and you get lots of grease and dirt in all the little cracks where it usually take a little while to build up. Greg Bender wrote:
