Stalling while downshifting?

moenko · 08-17-2008, 03:56 PM

Well, we are getting a few miles on the Nomad now. Riding mighty fine, got about 42 mpg on the first two tanks. Yet something disturbing happened at least twice: While downshifting (3rd to 2nd and the other time 2nd to 1st) the bike would just stall. Of course that left me with an uncozy feeling. Wondering if this has happened to others and what might be the problem.

Also notice idle is VERY, very low - can that be adjusted at all? (I do not contribute the stalling to that condition, though).

Thanks,
Carsten
