Base idle speed should be set to 1,000 rpm hot. Have the cold idle solenoids been disconnected? You may need to clean the throttle plates, as crap builds up on them, just like in a car.

Hi there.
I bought my 1500 2 months ago and rode it for a few hundred miles without any issues. And than this: when I start the bike cold I have to crank it several times and the idle is sluggish for the first minute. Than it settles but when I try to ride, it chokes up and shuts down. Both accelerating and decelerating results in choking the engine. Sounds like it doesn't get any fuel. It goes on for about 5 minutes and a few miles, and it slowly goes away by playing with the throttle. Than it runs like a dream. But if I stop the engine it needs several cranks before it starts again, and than it runs just fine. Any ideas? Thanks.
