Stalling at stops after engine warm

First topic message reminder :

First I want to say thanks to everyone on this site. I bought a 2002 SW about 3 months ago and I absolutely love it. The comments I got from everyone gave me the courage to jump from a 150cc to this beast. It's great to get on the highway and go as fast as I need to. This thing doesn't even break a sweat.

I've been having a small problem lately, however. It's been stalling at low speeds, especially when coming to or parked at a stop. It has about 7000 miles now and runs great at higher speeds. The plugs look OK. It's not over-heating.

I couldn't find many others with this issue here so I looked around elsewhere and found this comment:

It could be a "plugged pilot jet. This jet is responsible for fuel delivery in the idle speeds. since your bike has an automatic choke. when it is not at operating temp, this auto choke actually opens an auxiliary orifice giving fuel to the bike as it warms up. as it warms up, this valve closes and the motor must continue to run off of that pilot jet. but this jet being plugged, it will lose idle when warm. to fix this the carb will need to be removed, and the pilot jet cleaned out."

This sounds like a good answer. However, I am not even sure where the carb is. I have the manual for 2002 and later, but no mention of a carb. I'd like to fix this myself if I can.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

2 days, still purrrrring!

Thanks Hi Yo, JeffR_ (Yoda), RArch for the kind words.

I'm off to have a look at that pesky Flux Capacitor now.
