So, change oil and filter and lube cables clutch and throttle. Might as well check timing belts.I did it without removing radiator but what a pain (never again).went riding and a couple of times bike stalled pulling to stop at end of offramp situation. Hmmm, sounded like something that had happened to me before on some vehicle but I couldn't remember.Off to the Internet and 2 hrs later  had a few choices to look at.Most were related to efi and computer problems on newer bikes. further sorting gave me this.1. idle to low.2. clutch cable not adjusted properly.3. idle mix incorrect.My idle was on low side of 1000 so made it high side of 1000.Well I did mess with clutch cable to lube it (so readjusted it more carefully)Rechecked my idle mix screw and decided it was best 1/2 turn further out ( now 1 and 3/4 turns )Rode again and no more stalling in similar situations. But the point of this ramble was adjusting idle screw a half turn more completely got rid of my occasional flat spot off idle. Still will happen before bike is at operating temp but once warm I can now idle out from 1000 rpm without hardly any clutch slipping. (know what I'm saying?)  Now I'm in warm climate and don't ride in cold weather much so this is just my experience. But I gotta say WOW!! Biggest grin on my face so far. Just a half turn more. I'm running errands for my wife just for an excuse to ride. I think I'll go riding again tomorrow. Oh still around 36 to 37 mpg. Anyone on the fence about conversion should just go for it.dave</blockquote>
