I agree. I finally got mine tuned superbly, and I barely need to give it any throttle while letting up on the clutch for it to smoothly "walk" without bogging or stumbling. It just idles smoothly down the street. (I had to learn how much to let up on the clutch...the trick was to slip the clutch but not fully release it) I know that will shorten the life of the clutch, but I plan on a regular maintenance schedule with replacement at the recommended intervals. I'm not going to try and get my original clutch to last 200,000 miles. lol
