Idle adjust on cold

Hi,

I have to increase the idle screw when I start the bike (right hand side screw below the tank) when it is cold. (Also putting on the throttle adjust before starting). If I leave it at the normal riding position it would cut out after putting the throttle adjust back down after starting it.

Once riding and warming up I need to reduce the idle otherwise the idle revs will be a bit high (2k+ instead of 1250).

Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Thanks

cables stretch, bolts/screws vibrate loose over time 

could be as simple as this 

Are you sure the fast idle lever is actually doing anything at the tb’s. It essentially opens the throttle so exactly the same thing as the idle screw so it’s either not doing its job or not opening it enough. Maybe the cable has broken etc. 

So you mean that if the fast idle is fully on then adjusting the idle screw shouldn't do anything?

At the moment if I pull the switch down fully before I start it will rev to about or a little over 3k.

I would think a tb setup was long overdue if you've never had it done.

It amazing what a difference having it done can make if the adjustment is off.
