There is nothing rocket science about idling the bike. Though I might not sound technical (still learning about RX), would always suggest to have some idle and not zero. I would think when the throttle is cut off, would sound as if the engine is switched off. Coming to my bike, I have set it just right. It doesn't get switched off however, very low humming when the throttle is closed offering some fine music tune. Guess, adding RDD CDI kit bike idles even better. I would not have to do martial arts practice.

I have noticed some street specs bikes which is kept zero idling and they need to keep revving all the time during the signal/stops etc else would die. Yes, I do agree that when the throttle is closed it produces humming or even negligible sound from the exhaust. Bangalore and Mysore bikes are like you mentioned, cannot generalize to other parts.
Again I would think it is personal choice and not an IDEAL way to run the bike.
My personal opinion is, slightly rude than irritating. I would not think zero idle would contribute to FE and at the same time if idle is kept above optimum.
As we all aware carb can be tuned such a way that idle can be tuned to bare minimum or slight below the optimum, off course engine warming needed. Again, I'm not sure if this would result in significant change in FE.
Who cares on FE when it comes to RX

@Raghu:- I understand that by throwing a question on this forum would actually get to learn many from other members sharing thoughts and their experience. Ideally speaking for the jerking issue, would suggest you to tune your carb to optimum and would yield result. I might have skipped pages and totally forgot about your bike's spec. If you wish and it is stock, then you will need to have optimum idle. Keep us posted on your findings if the jerking problem is solved then try other suggestions and suit the better.
