Is you EFI stalling at the lights?

I have heard this problem from EFI owners time and time again, that the EFI idles roughly from time to time, and often simply dies when you are waiting at idel, e.g. at lights. My bike did this for years too, different plugs, replacement air filters, slight adjustments of the idle screw in the throttle body, clutch adjustments and choke cable adjustments all were tried, but failed to improve things. This was very much an annoying trait of the EFI, especially once the electric start packed in and the bike became kick only!!
However, in March my sprag clutch finally disintegrated totally, and locked up the crank to the stater motor which meant for a strip down of the clutch side engine case. My electrica start hadn't worked for years, but that is becuase the sprag didn't grip - so I left it in as it was doing no harm. In March the disintegrated sprag locked so it needed removing. Not a tough job at all but the results were astounding. I am worried to say this in case I jinx things, but the bike now idles confidently, smoothly and the pick up at lights is a little more reliable.
