ok. i have a 416ex, motor has been rebuilt and everything has been adjusted, and the people i had work on my fourwheeler set my idle higher than usual so it would stay running.. because i had this problem of not having a good idle.. and now its not running right again. it starts fine.. and ill ride it for like 10 mins and when im coming to a stop it just dies, it doesnt have a good idle at all..it won't idle either.. it will for like 1 min and then dies..
any suggestions?...

sometimes the pilot jet gets pluged up. causes it not to idle.

but why do you need it to idle for more than 5 secconds anyways? it is electric start, so its not like it is a pain to get running. My bike doesent idle for the life of it. not for more than 4 seconds.

because its happened before, when i was at the gate and it just dies.. like it just doesn't stay started unless i have my hand on the gas keeping it going..
