Trying to figure out a solution to a problem I am having. I have had the idle drop to about 6K when I pull in the clutch when slowing down. A few times the bike has stalled-not a good thing.
So now I 'm noticing that just sitting at a light that the idle will be fine at 11k then will just drop to about 6k for a second, then right back to 11k. This will happen about every 8-10 seconds the last time I rode.
I did the 60k maintenance in August. Adjust valves, TB synch, new plugs gapped to spec. Has run great until about 2 weeks ago. I also shot some TB cleaner down the TB's and have run 2 tanks with Techron added in the last 2 weeks.
This is a single spark model and the spark plug wires are probably original.
Thanks for any input.

Re: Idle drop
When was the last time you replaced the fuel filter? Wondering if possibly some trash is momentarily affecting fuel flow.
