Many racers set the idle very low and accept that it sometimes dies. I am not a racer but I have set my idle very low too and now and then the bike dies. That's the way I like it, but like you I could set it higher and it would never die.

Depending on the altitudes you ride it may be possible to run one carb set up all year. I ride between 600 and 3800 feet and use the same set up without problems, but I do not ride WOT for longer than a few seconds.
Me too.. I like a really low tick over at temp, in neutral. Sometimes this means the added drag from the clutch will be enough to flame it out without a bit of throttle here and there.. I dont tend to sit in gear going nowhere too often though. Just a balancing act between clutch throttle and brakes.. same as any other itme on the bike.
