No issue. It idles. It settled into a steady idle when I got back from the first ride.

Stalling can happen with EFI under no load once in a while, particularly when you drop the throttle abruptly. Mine stalled once at a stop sign in the first mile of operation. It has not stalled since.

Like most EFI bikes, it doesn't start instantly. All of my carbed bikes started instantly. This bike turns over maybe two revolutions before popping to life. I have started it ~5 times now and this is the standard behavior.

2000 rpm showing is based on the thick blocks that populate the rpm gauge. It is not a needle. Each block represents 500 rpm. 4 blocks are showing at idle, so it is between 1501 and 2000 rpm. My guess of 1900 is wrong (it is "four blocks"). The idle sounds like 1600rpm, maybe 1500, and it is remarkably constant. Here is a video

And you can see the shortened kickstand spring lower mount fixed the loose kickstand.

No, it has only happened once to me and it might have been the ECU learning or a hiccup going from open loop to closed loop.

I have the opposite happening, the Paladin fires right up and my carbed bikes turn over for a bit until they catch.

That video is typical so far on the Paladin. A few revolutions, then it starts. Same experience with my neighbor's KPX. Has to crank a couple of revolutions.

My son's Templar (and my previous carbed bikes) popped to life quicker. Nearly instantly. Gotta tease the choke with constant slight throttle, but QUICK!

I have searched but haven't been able to find stickers with the Zuumav logo. I'd like xarious sizes. Zuumav lets their distributors put their logo on them, but it is a Zuumav! Zongshen and Loncin do this too.
