Help can someone advise me on problem. I have noticed that when im running the bike in the mornings to and from work i have noticed that when i come off the throttle to change down or to stop at lights the bike dies and that if i don't catch it in time she dies out completely. Then i have to give it a hard rev to get her going, ocne she is running she runs fine.

You can rule out carb icing by stopping, waiting 20 seconds with the engine off and starting again. If all is well it could be carb icing.

I tend towards blocked jets my 600 only ever iced the carbs when it was snowing, but I guess there is great variation between bikes.

Although this may not be the complete answer I am sure it will lead to a safer ride. Do not run the bike (danger of the bike winning ) Definitely do not come off the bike (can hurt if you come off the wrong way) Do not stop the bike at lights (OK for the day light hours but night time will be hazardous) Do catch the bike early (As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm) Do rev the bike hard (I recommend doing anything to get her going so the harder the better) I myself do have running problems but I put it down to bad knee’s and hip’s. I do hope you manage to sort your problem, good luck. ;D

What about poor tick over speed and just turn the screw a bit on the carbs
