I bet your choke spring is shot. Very common problem, alot of people dont know its bad for a while until it wont run at all when warm. This will give you an eradic idle, and when warm it will want to stall. Use a 12mm wrench to screw the plastic nut out of the carb and pull the choke plunger out.

my Z had the same kind of problem when I bought it. I barely bumped the idle up and the problem is gone.

I don't know all the specifics, but when you turn the idle down it will stall. When it does, it kicks back pretty hard and grabs the starter somehow. I know this because the guy I bought my Raptor did just that and paid bigtime. The shop readjusted the idle.
