It actually sounds to opposite of my old problem: bike idled fine but when riding would be rough, but it just happened throughout the night. I changed the fuel filter, checked carb (they were clean) and turns out a plug was bad even though they all looked good still. You may wanna check that but all four together were about $35 and as long as you have a socket that'll fit in the tight space it not too bad of a job. You may want to try that before you take it to the dealer and get an automatic $250 or so charge if your mechanically inclined...

-Carb jets could be clogged (dirty gas)
-Idle adjustment tampered with?
-I'd personally start with getting the carb cleaned.

Let us know!

thats what my bike did, the fan would kick on and the rpms would jump up/down then stall if you didnt give it gas...since I replaced the fuel prump and filter has been fine

Hey Chad, Dont know what is wrong with your bike, but mine does the same thing. Ran GREATall winter long and now that it is warming up outside it want's to stall when I have been riding for about 15 minits and it idle's. I've been researhing the problem and I think alot of people have this problem. I think it's somthing to do with the fuel leaner when it is hotter outside. I am a auto mechanic but dont know much about bikes. I might take it to a dealer, havnt decided yet what I will do. Let me know if you come up with anything.

Brian
