I have been riding my K1 on the street, commuting with it. I am chasing a similiar gremlin with idle. Sometimes dies suddenly after 2 min. Restarts easily with headlamp off. Mine does not die idling if I turn the headlamp off while waiting at a traffic light. it's like the alternator doesn't produce enough power at idle for the load on it. However it always idles slower with headlight on.

I have.....new battery, RS rectifier upgrade, cleaned almost all connections.  Also rebuilt the carb with a DRATV kit.  Over 300 miles riding now.
