Not Idling

Hello everyone, first time posting. I have a 2006 CVO Ultra. Pretty stock, just a small cam change a year or so ago. Lately when I'm out riding and come to a stop sign, sometimes it will not idle and dies, other times it idles fine. Took it to the dealership and they said they found a leaking intake seal. BUT it still sometimes will not idle. Took it back to the dealership, and they cant find anything, (no codes ) . I have run it thru 3 tanks of gas from 3 different gas stations, all to no avail. Anyone have any Ideas.? Thanks

I would inspect, clean/replace the IAC if it hasnt been addressed yet. Pull the air cleaner and look to see if it cycles properly.

It could also be your speed sensor, when mine went out bike would run alright but would not idle at a stop light either, usually another clue is your self cancelling turn signals wont work correctly either. Sometimes it just accumulates gunk on the top it and can be wiped off . mine didnt throw a code , but some do

Other than dying at idle, does it ride fine while on the road? Any other symptoms?

The prior suggestions would be our intial move as well.
Perhaps the tuner that was used at the point of cam install, can be used to adjust.
