Hey yall, when I crank up my atc I can let it idol for a long time and it never has a problem, but when I ride it quite a ways and slow down, it idols kind of high. I have adjusted the idol screw, but is that a problem and what do I need to do?

Nope, sounds good to me. Ride on.

It idles higher when it's warmed up, meaning it's adjusted with a high idle. Generally idle adjustments should be done after about 5-10 mins of warmup (riding).

How's your air filter? It will run rich if it's dirty or has to much oil on it.

appreciate the info gentlemen, it doesnt idol high all the time. But I recently cleaned the air filter, it was very dirty! Just purchased it about a month ago.

Lots of times that keihin carb plunger/throttle valve etc. gets hung up. Take off the carb and see how the the parts are separate; usually a good cleaning will allow the throttle valve to lower itself and not keep the revs up.............Run the linkage and watch the plunger when you remove the 3 screws holding the cap on top.

Sometimes high idle when hot is a lean condition.... Just, finally, fixed my TTR of this problem; also had it in my old TW and KLR. One up on Pilot and main fixed it. Read the plug to be sure.
