Odd Idle and another question

[79XS11F]

When I am warming up my engine in the morning I have discovered that the engine will idle smoother and at a slightly higher speed when the bike is upright as compared to when it's on the side stand. I do not recall this behavior with my first XS11. Should I be concerned?
2nd question... how come some of the forums will not allow the starting of new threads?

Leaned over, the floats and float valves are working sideways, so the fuel level in the bowls is going to be all haywire. Stand it up and everything levels off and the fuel levels are what they should be.

The technical articles sections (repair, maintenance, modifications, riding, miscellaneousetc) can only be written to by a couple of administrators. We have a 'tips under construction' area in a restricted administrative forum where we prepare articles, critique them, and try to weed out all of the errors before we post them so others can see them. These are meant to be the concise technical articles without a lot of general chatter in them. 'Just the facts' please.

Other than those sections, you can post to all of the other forum areas.
