I did have issue on my 500RS a couple of times, where it wouldn't idle, once right after tank fill. It seemed that it did happen at less than 500 miles, but after running it with throttle for a few minutes, was able to finish the ride. There were pretty big elevation changes for the times that it has done it. I contacted the dealer, and he suggested the system self recalibration procedure, where from cold, you start bike, let it warm up with out touching throttle, until electric fan comes on, plus a minute or 2. I have did this a couple of times, and it seemed to help. This is now something I do if it seems harder to start or funky idle. Now, at 60+ hours, not having any problems. If you are not able to get it to idle, ever, this is going to be tough procedure to complete.
