Stalling
any one have any ideas on what may be causing my bike to stall when I stop, rpms just drop. Bike runs great when cold and can ride for 20 minutes no issues then it all of the sudden will stall out when I get off the throttle when gearing down and stopping. I have to start the bike again but while starting it I have to give it throttle. Brand new air filter, factory air box. I did have a screaming eagle stage 1 on it but through that maybe was causing issues with air leak. but still doing with the factory box. I am lost .

sorry, its a 2012 Switchback. I will check that IAC the odd thing is that when the bike is cold its good. Anyway after I put in this post I went out and started to think what I changed on the bike. I added the Screaming Eagle, removed and rode and still same issue. I also added a FP3 fuel pak. So I removed that. Went for a good 15 minute ride and stopped and let the bike idle out of gear and it was all good. Normally it would have stalled out. I want to ride a few more times but my thoughts are it could be the FP3.. I will update after I get out again . Just wanted to update my findings.

Update - I cleaned the IAC it was dirty. Road the bike and it was good at first but then started again. Went for a 3 hour Ride on Saturday and oddly lit acted up but not as often and I found if I geared down and reeved the engine a little to get the rpms up if I noticed them dropping below 1000 it would idle up and be ok. I haven't had time to check the speed sensor yet but that is my next step.

I would try cleaning it first. When you pull it out you'll see a considerable layer of metal filings on it. Wipe them off and re-install it and see if the problem goes away. If it continues I would replace it. If I recall the sensor costs about $60 or $70.
