'fast running'

My 1400 mile C5 idles (tickover) quite high which means selecting 1st gear results in a 'clunk' How easy and how can I reduce idle speed?
Many thanks

Br. SinghG5´s youtube channel is an exellent source for maintenance work for a Bullet. Have a look at the other videos, too.
P.S.: There is a search function available in this forum

If you haven't swapped the Bosch plug for the NGK, that will help keep the idle at a more constant rpm. The idle adjustment is pretty easy and was what my C5 needed about the same miles as yours.

Also, fan the clutch a few times before you put it in first gear for the first time after starting. The plates get sticky when the bike sits, this helps them dislodge.
