    01 250ex, stop in gear with out it dieing...

    I just bought this for my wife. Shouldn't I be able to stop with it in gear and not have it die? I know it has to be in nuetral to start but what pain if she has to down shift into neutral every time to stop.

    I mean if I am riding in say second gear I can not come to a complete stop with out the bike dieng. I have to shift into neutral. I thought this bike should be able to stop in any gear and not die.

    idle needs to be raised. I'm assuming the bike is stock?

    It is stock. I will raise the idle. If that doesn't help any ideas what it could be? I tried adjusting the clutch and that did not help.
