Idling in the Cold

[von1papen]

Just had a minor problem today when I stopped behind some traffic, usual stop starting etc as it was the start of rush hour.
Anyways pulled in the clutch came to a halt in first but the moment I stopped giving low revs with the accelerator the CG just cuts out.

Second day on the Bike so it's probably just my crappy skills but I dislike having to rev continuously when I'am stopped in the off chance my foot isn't securely on the Brake. (Paranoid yes but I'am very aware of how much of a novice I am lol)

Anyways after reading that boring story is it me or just the cold that makes the engine cut out? (It'd only been running for about ten minutes) Or is this just a standard thing I'll have to get used too? Sorry for the simple questions but its all new to me

It should be OK after 10 minutes.
Somewhere near the carburettor under the tank will be a knurled knob you can turn by hand to make the idle speed a bit higher.
It only wants increasing a little bit or it will be more clunky to get into first gear.
(and use more fuel but not as much as blipping the throttle! )

1996 dated, only 13'000 miles though so I don't think the engine is particularly knackered, hopefully!

It's just the cold mate, but as suggested, up the idle abit.

Warm the bike up (prob a good idea to ride about for around 10 minutes) then turn the idle screw inwards very VERY slowly (its sensitive) till the bike will idle comfortably
