2011 EC300 idle adjustment & more

[kdxkid]

Hello,

I have a new to me 2011 EC300 - with about under 10 hours on it (bought it used with 6 hours and have 1 ride on it so far).

I haven't touched anything on it, and it seems to be jetted pretty good (ableit I have no other bike to compare it to). Here are a few items I am looking for suggestions on:

1. Idle is too low. The bike seemed a little too easy to stall (slow stuff, when releasing clutch) and also when stopped on the trail (unless I was keeping on the throttle). Hoping this is as simple as an AS or idle adjustment, however see #2 and #3 below.

2. A good bit of black spoog out of the silencer at the end of the day.

3. Power characteristics - I think this is good, although I think I was expecting more snappy power down low?? Up top it definitely pulls hard and feels responsive, however if I am just chugging along not really on the pipe, and wack the throttle open (2nd or 3rd) I was expecting the front to come up a little easier.

If anyone has / had this bike feel free to chime in. I want to know if this is all common - if not I will check the carb for what jets, float height, etc.

Thanks!
