Personally I believe it's more of a design flaw (mechanical) that would present itself differently on each bike and the idle would stutter when electronics try to compensate.
So sorry you had so much grief with yours.

Indeed this thing is the king of craps (more than 30 bikes owned, never another bike gave me such a frustration - and I'm not talking solely about idle issues).
Anyway...my cynicism apart... I had the best of intentions when I bought the thing 2.5 years ago...to the extent to spend time (and fighting The Angry Wife) designing various stuff - shown here at WIP/unfinished stage (spot the CNC oil cooler + SPAL fan).
But, you know what? It's all about karma : the entire related CAD dataset is lost (carried over in a memory stick - never stored in one of many workstations at home: how idiot someone can be?).
Moral: biking and karma are pretty much the same thing
