Default Please Help!

hey everyone,
if anyone can tell me off the top of their head,
i have a stock '03 monster 800s with about 150 miles on it. Bought it brand new, but its been sitting in my garage for about 6 months. Well heres the problem: the idle speed it very weak and will just die on me even with the choke on, any suggestions or solutions?
thx

Possibly bad Fuel from sitting. Change it. Next time put a fuel stabilizer in it for storage.

fresh gas, new oil and filter, a little fuel injection cleaner and a long ride should sort it out
