    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Is this a problem?

I was riding home today from work on my GS450L when I stopped at a light and the idle stayed at about 1500 RPM instead of dropping to the normal 1100 RPM. It did the same thing all of the way home. I wiggled the choke a little since it was off now that it was warmed up and she stalled. The bike started again with the choke off without any problems. Is this a problem? Any suggestions?
For background...The plugs only have a hundred miles on them and when I pulled them today they were a nice grey color. The carb boot O rings are only about a year old and other than this little thing she runs like a champ.
 
If it runs fine, starts normally, plugs look normal and everything seems normal, I would just turn down the idle adjustment knob one click and not worry about it.

Is there any chance your throttle cable(s) are dry?

Stuck throttle cable or you are running hot. How is your oil level?
 
Oil level is fine, that was my first thought...it has been a while since I oiled the throttle cable though.
