Actually seems like a really smart conclusion. Though an easy one if you spot visually, and know that would cause an idle issue
Reminds me of a time zi had my bike towed to a shop because it wouldn’t start.
The service writer immidietly spotted the fuel line check valve was disconected partially.
Enough for his keen eye. But not obvious enough for mine.

I was leaving the local bike shop on my ironhead and the little so and so wouldn't keep running. I didn't have a clue what was wrong with it so I asked the owner. He twisted off the gas cap, looked inside, and said, "you're out of gas". Pretty embarrassing but only cost me my pride. ha ha ha.

Hahahahah, done that too. And I can top it.
Stopped at a gas station, pulled up, unlocked my gas cap (on my vulcan) strolled in to pay cash, hopped right back on the bike and left...

I spent about 3 days trying to adjust my throttle and idle cables and they just wouldn't work right.
Took them off and put them on so many times I lost count...
Then I found that the throttle lock was partially on!!!!!!
Loosened that and a few minutes later I was done with the bike!!!!!
