02 Curvy stalls at low revs

I suspect that it's "carb icing". It happens every time I ride my bike to college in the morning, whenever I take off the throttle, if the choke isn't on.

Sometimes however, it happens later in the day as well, after my morning riding, when I would have expected the carbs to have de-iced. Much less frequently, however, but it still happens occasionally. and my bike seems to be on the verge of stalling when I leave it to idle.

Is this just the wild and wacky effects of typical frosty English mornings, dragging out slightly throughout the day?

what is your idle speed at normal (no choke) 1300-1500 if not ajust your settings by turning small black disc left hand side of the engine betwen the two clynders by the frame hth

Yeah about any revs below that and it cuts out.. I will try the disc thing later though, left hand side when on the bike? Will I be able to get at it through full fairings?

Thanks a lot for the help! New to biking

Yes, left hand side when you're sat on the bike - it's a little black knobly disc which adjusts the engine's idling speed. Sounds like it's set a wee bit low at the moment.

For the life of me I can't remeember which way you turn it (gut feeling is clockwise to raise the idle), anyway start the bike up let it tick over, twiddle with the nob (giggidy), give it a rev, let the needle settle (and repeat until you hit the desired tick over speed)
Somewhere around 1200 from memory

Where EXACTLY is this disc? I had a brief look (but it was fookin' freezin'), don't want to remove lowers unless I have to to get to it..

Thanks a lot guys

I cant remember exactly, but its on the LHS, It pokes out either just under the fuel tank or in one of the sections of the frame.

Its a black plastic knob, not a disc, somewhere in the area I've put a red circle on in the pic below

Yeah found it! Excellent! Ill see if it does its job the next freezing morning we have! Thanks a lot for your help guys!
