Default Idiling problem

I'm having a problem with my 2000 RK stalling. I've checked the plugs, reset my PCII. It starts fine, runs for about a minute, stalls and spits out the air cleaner. It runs good but every now and the when I come to a stop it does the same thing. I would appreciate any input at all. Thanks.-KT

The first thing you have to do is to reduce the number of variables. Run the bike without the PCII. If the problem goes away, then you've found the source.

not as familiar with pcII as the pcIII, you still have the three buttons for light adjustment, yes, if you do then hold the three butons down and turn the ignition on, don't start the bike, you will see the light on the pc come on, release the buttons, hit the low idle button and bring it up a couple of steps to the rich side, wait until the light goes back to the lowest setting then turn bike off, wait a few seconds, turn ignition back on, wait for fuel pump to stop start bike and see if that is better. If its better but not quite right do the same thing again and increase again until it works the way you want it to or at least so it does't stall on you. This would probably also be fixed at a dyno as they would set the pc map to do this without having to adjust the fine tuning buttons. Hope this helps a littl.
