    For best bike control in low speed parking lot riding and slow turning.....learn to ride in the FRICTION ZONE of your clutch.........slipping as necessary.

    I got my left handle bar to swing back into a normal position after some maneuvering. The bike's post low side idling problem doesn't seem to be apparent any more. When it slid I'm guessing I got a bit of oil in the cylinders which is now burned off; I'll yank the plugs and see.
