Now THAT is a worthwhile post!
Kudos to you for taking the time and effort to deal with a problem that has plagued the R3 since release, and then provide guidance for the rest of us.
It beats going to the dealer and being told "the scanner says everyting is right", without solving the problem.

Thank you.

My bike has been plagued by that "weak idle" problem...sometimes it idles great, others it drops low and indicates it might stall. I've just learned how to work with it, and found when coming to a stop, if I completely close the throttle before pulling in the clutch, and give the system a "moment" to adjust, when I clutch rpm falls to a decent idle. Throttle off/clutch at the same time seems more apt to result in a low-idle condition.
I've lived with it for almost two years because I don't have a great deal of faith in dealers for figuring out anything beyond removing and adding parts (not even that really), but I'm going to follow your instructions and see how it works out.

Again, thanks for sharing this most useful information.
