    Takes quite a long time for it to come right. I just did a balance recently so I'd hope that's not the case.

    Before you did the valve clearances though? Apparently it changes things, well it would if you had to adjust one cylinder's valves more than the other cylinder.

    Idle change came after the adjustment. Damnit, I'm not fond of balancing.

    Very possibly. Changing the valve clearance also slighty changes the valve timing, which might well affect idle speed. The slow climb bit is probably the clearance closing up again as the engine heats up. That's what you have a choke for

    On the way to work about an hour ago, my idle worsened and the bike began to splutter as I tried to rev. It stalled and refused to start. After about five minutes it decided to start again, but experianced similar symptoms. There I left it and caught a lift to work.

    I have tomorrow to attempt a diagnosis before work again at 6.

    Out of petrol. Or water in the fuel.

    Or, do you have one of those vile, never to be adequately damned monstrosities, a vacumm operated fuel tap? In which case the hos ehas either come away at one end or other, it it has a leak in it. Or you linked a fuel line while working on it.

    Or it's that dodgy electrics plug of yours playing up again.

    $10 says I'm an idiot, and I ran out of fuel.
