Hello all, bought my first rocket and it has been an absolute dream however I have a couple of issues that concern me.

1). It is hard to start, I have to crank the engine and then rev it in order to get it to start and stay at idle. Seems to happen regardless of hot or cold engine.
2). When rolling to a stop (actually happened with bike full stopped and clutch engaged once) in neutral with the clutch engaged it will stall out, just completely die. Happens about once a day but it is very intermittent. Starts right back up but still concerning.

Thing I have tried:

12 minute adaption.
Switching from premium to regular gas.

Bike has a bit over 300 miles on it and still has a year of warranty. I plan on bringing it to the dealer but wanted to try to wait till I get closer to the 600 mile mark so that I can get the service done as well. Figured I'd post and get your feedback on this. Thanks!
 
Doesn't sound good, but I guess there could be a number of reasons why it's behaving that way.

- I'm guessing the bike is brand new, apart from the 300 miles(?)

- Was starting the bike a problem right from the beginning?

- Can you detect any misfire or flat spots in the rev range?

- Hesitancy to pick up the revs at the start of accelerating?
 
Unusual for a bike with few miles on it. What's the history of the bike? Did you buy it from the dealer or someone who rode it a few miles and then parked it for a long time? If the later, I'd syphon off gas and replace and possibly add some Techron or other additive.
