My 2009 ST1300 is a relative youngster, just ~ 14,000 miles. It's idling is poor and has always been so while I have owned it. Up and down, occasional stall. I need my hand on the throttle when starting from cold, while it warms a bit. No probs elsewhere on the road.
I wonder about this. Is there something inherent about the V4 configuration that makes it a poor idler. I would like to think so. At least this would explain it.
Thanks, D

Previous 1300 inlines (Yam and Suzi) have started hot or old and idled like electric motors.
Is it the V4 possibly? Does anyone have a smooth one?
