Hi Bucko,
There is a fast idle adjust you can try although if the bike doesn't run like it used to it is probably something else. I marked the location in red on the bike detail.

I may have posted this question before but couldn't find it with a search.....

I've noticed the last few riding seasons that I've had to use my fast idle knob to keep the bike running when starting from cold.  Not that weird, I suppose, but I never had to use the fast idle, ever for the first 10 years I owned the bike no matter how cold it was out - it would idle up by it's self without any intervention by me.  Now it idles up immediately when started but will drop down within a few seconds and stall if I don't assist with the fast idle.  Is there an idle adjustment somewhere that I'm missing or is poor cold idling a sign of something else?

Thanks for any advice.
