You don't want to try and adjust the idle down, you need to find out what is causing it to happen.
Do you have a check engine light?
Can you pull the idle down by pulling the throttle cable or hand rotating the throttle body?

Sounds like your idle stepper motor must be hung up, trouble is, I don't know where it is located on a 98 D1. You might ask around as to where it is and tray and clean it out with carb cleaner.
That's the only thing I can think of.
