Carbureted bikes may need a little time to warm up in order to hold idle without dying. A clean and tune should fix that, but that’s effort the owner may not be in a position to make for whatever reason.
However, all you need to do is hold the throttle at, say, 1500 RPM instead of 1000. Enough to not die. Adding a cheap throttle lock makes it so you don’t even have to stand there while it warms up.
There is zero reason to rev a bike in neutral, at any time, besides dick swinging.
My bike used to die if I idled at stop lights for too long before I worked in the carb a bit. So if I felt the engine slowing, I would blip the throttle to keep it running. But this was purely utilitarian, and my bike isn’t a loud one
Im so glad my new bike has fuel injection. I can ride immediately after start.
Hated carb bikes, their chokes and all that gunk that accumulates in there.

I differentiate between blip and rev.

Oh I love me some carburetors, but yeah, FI on a daily driver is wonderful.
