First make sure choke is turned all the way off. It may be causing mix too rich on warm bike.
There is idle adjustment screw on the right sire of the carb (plastic knob). I need to tinker with it (about half turn) depending how hot the bike is. This bike likes high idle (about 1400rpm). If adjusted too low it may stall when coming to a stop from cruising speed (engine little cooler).
My philosophy on the carbs in bikes that sat for a while is to try to run them for two or three tank fulls. Often the little varnish in the carb will eventually clear up. Prior to taking carbs apart, watch few videos on youtube made by Shane Conley about carb cleaning to avoid common mistakes. Parts for carbs are not cheap and easy to screw up. I bought mine in april and it runs much better now (after 400 miles). I still hesitate to take carb apart - my problem is very small leak causing carb to be little moist on the lower half. I bought rebuild kit that has all seals needed to rebuild and float needle valve (although opinions on the aftermarket kits and esp valve are mixed). Will eventually get it done if it doesnt stop by itself. Best luck.
