AJ,
try putting it in neutral as you come to a stop (yeah, I know, not that
easy) and let go of the clutch and see it if dies when you stop. If it
doesn't, you may have a throwout bearing or warped intermediate plate that
may be dragging the engine down if you sit with it in gear and the clutch
pulled. Or your clutch is not adjusted to release quite enough.
Otherwise, it won't hurt you to bump up the idle speed so that it doesn't
die while stopped. But I would check into the clutch/throwout situation.
Matt

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:
