I spoke with my service dept. about this issue and they said that even on the bikes that they have updated with the M-1436 service bulletin, problem still exists. All it did was raise the idle speed to 950. They said the motor company is aware of the problem and is working on an ecm update. They are in the vetting process, so it will be months before a new update.

Supposedly fixed
Below is a video of my M8 stalling. When I'm in 1st gear coasting, I'll pull in the clutch to brake .... And the engine dies. When it doesn't die, it will idle very low and stutter. When the engine dies it will not start again right away. I have to turn the bike on and off, put it in neutral, and then it will restart. I'm a sitting duck in the meantime. Has this happened to anyone else? One person this happened to said they replaced the MAP sensor.
Below is a link to a video showing the bike stalling

Reading the CD where the EPA is making the MoCo Void Engine Warranties if there is signs of Non-Compliant Tuners/Parts used is total BS,,,Bastards

I did call HD customer service and was issued a number for it. I hope every person that has an issue does the same thing.
Dealer will look at it and do what they can, clearly it maybe over their head. I have to work at it but I can make it do it.
It is clear in my case that it has to do with slow ground speed clutch and throttle position.

I get it, totally unacceptable, yet we have to accept it..where's the quality control over such a long development and testing period...without knowing root cause yet, bad batch of clutch switches or whatever...just bs when we are put at safety risk..all I can say is Thank God Harley doesn't build airplanes
