Went out to play with the big boys again yesterday.  A mixed bunch: 2 Bandits- one 600, the other a new 650, one BMW 650 CS Scarver, a Yamaha FZ6 Fazer, even a GXS600R. Then to give us all a giggle along comes Rafael on his Burgman 125 scooter.  Of course we all thought he'd be left behind at the first bend but now here's the thing.  Two miles out of town we hit fog and no matter how natty the machinery nobody was taking any risks which meant 30 miles later at the first coffee stop old Rafael was first to the bar!

I'm not sure if its linked to the fog and damp though I think it might be but while on the open road the engine was running fine, as soon as I dropped to idle when pootling through a village the Lettuce kept stalling.  It always restarts OK but with a bit of effort from the starter.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the motor doesn't like to idle after a run on the highway?  I suppose I could just tweak the idle mix screw to up the idle revs a touch but I'd like to know why its doing this.  Any Newfies or other fogbound Savage riders have this experience?

what is your idle speed set at??1-1.2 k
read a post here where the savagers air mix screw had vibrated to a different setting...

my bad i have a cheap digi tach (pit possee) b 4 i installed it i did it "by ear" she sounds so much better at too slow idle...check the V hose anyways.and fitiment on bothe ends..i made the mistake once and disconnected from petc0ck instead of carb  its a RPITA to get it  back on after tank and seat are back on my neddle nose pliers put a hole in it with out even trying..
damp air is denser, dense and or cold air is more better

that has always been a characteristic of the d*mned cv style carbs . triumphs, MGs, austin healeys, and other european cars using the SU brand cv carbs are well aquainted with this phenomenon. dad has told me the old triumph motorcycles had the same cr*p. i am not a cv carb fan.
