Engine RPM does stay a little higher than idle after riding for a while when coming to a stop, then creeps back down to idle. Finer carb tuning may be necessary if bothersome. I have ridden bike over 80 miles after rebuild and have not had any issues. Bike is very well built and is real nice for a rider. Handles great, accelerates smooth and brakes like a vintage era bike.
