I know turning up the idle makes it smoother but will it help you in the long run or is it a crutch, that will hurt you being that you will not be working on throttle control...... Over all should I practice with the idle up??? I'm thinking it will help with brake control

stock idle...don't turn it up unless you got good brake skill...or it will leave you on your *** because you'll clutch it up high and leting off the throttle will not bring the bike back on 2...i still run 1300 rpm for idle for all my wheelies...15-60 mph
