You need to adjust the idle speed. This is something very basic and easy to do.
Follow the throttle cable and look for a screw or thumb screw (usually made of plastic). The thumb screw are usually made to be turned by hand.
As you turn the wrist (throttle), look at the linkage on the engine / carb. The idle speed control is designed to keep the throttle slightly open when you take your hands off.
Good Luck.

Its getting too much air, you need to apply throttle to keep the air/fuel mix right. You can adj. the air screw on the carb(s) but I think your problem lies with a bad gasket which may be why your mech. says not to worry
If the engine is in fact lean turning up the idle would be like putting a band-aid on a broken leg. Running it lean for a prolonged period of time will cause irreversible damage

It's not "OK".
Have it tuned by another mechanic.
Most bikes have a 'throttle stop` that limits
how low the setting can go. Adjust this till
your engine idles normally when warm.

could be a plugged gasoline filter out, undesirable air filter out or mixture and additionally there are different conceivable motives which includes crap from inexpensive gasoline interior the carbs inflicting issues. Have a save take a glance at it.
