I posted a video on youtube link will be provided but just back story.. bought the bike 2 weeks ago has 3600 miles and its a 2010.. was sitting for like 2 years or more. Starts right up.. no issues dying on me at lights or anything. In the video im running 100 octane race gas but it was rough like this even with 93 in it. Idle seems a bit choppy and rough.. runs fine at higher rpms and has tons of power.. no hesitation which confirms its not a serious issue.. hopefully its an 02 sensor or some other sensor that needs to be cleaned... you guys have way more experience than I do.. Please help me out and check out the video... would love to hear some feedback!

well do you know if it has a tune? often when you change the exhaust the bike will idle funny like that without a proper map. also, this race gas you are using, i hope it doesn't have lead in it. or you will kill the O2 sensors and clog the catalytic converters in the headers.
now, I'm not sure what years did this but they put the converter inside the headers so you can't remove it without replacing the headers.
i'm not sure if the 2010 still did that or not. so just wait for someone else to respond about that. but if you are not using leaded race gas there is nothing to worry about.

also this may be able to be reduced by having the throttle bodies synchronized. but i'm betting it's just the exhaust. and possibly a dirty fuel injector from sitting. sitting bikes/cars isn't good for them unless the fuel system was drained.

im not sure if it has a tune but even a slip on exhaust will mess with it like that? Also it has the cat in the headers for sure.. but sonoco 100octane race gas is unleaded...I read somewhere that oscillation of 100 or so RPM isnt a bad thing and most people have an even rougher idle. let me knows guys! please!
