RE: 4 stroke spool down???
Listen to MinnFlyer & gaRCfield. They are right on. I have had this exact same issue w/a Saito 125. Leaning the low end (a bunch) solved the problem. Funny thing is that it took about 6 gallons before this "issue" appeared. And, I had already leaned the LE a considerable amount during/after break-in.
But now it'll quickly settle into a nice solid 1700rpm idle. And transition hasn't changed...which is good because it was instant even before leaning.
