My ‘17 RoadKing, did that...to a degree...after I did the HD Stage 1 download. Why I said “to a degree” it reved to about 1,400 RPMs, under those conditions. There were other threads on this. It seems the MoCo, made these modifications to prevent stalling.
so..I wonder if the 3rd party tuners start with an HD base map, that now has this characteristic?

Just got my FXFBS tuned (TMan 124"...complete top end) with a PowerVision & Target Tune. Tuner is saying when coasting to stop, clutch pulled or in neutral, bike revs approx 2000 rpms (fluctuates between 2000, 1800, 1500, etc., sporadically). It will idle down once it comes to a complete stop. Bike is not throwing any codes. I've searched on here and this subject leads to either, wrapped, cracked, or leaking manifold, bad clutch switch, or a bad twist grip sensor.
My tuner contacted Dynojet and their response is they know about the issue but do not have a fix yet. WTF?! The rep said something about the adjustments for this is "somewhere in the background" of the tune and they "do not yet have access to". The rep further stated "when/if" they get access, "it will probably be changed in MOST" of the tunes they provide...as "MANY folks" have contacted them about this same issue.
I'm picking up the bike today. It is 3.5 hrs away. Once I get it home, I will check those things listed above. Not sure how to determine a bad twist grip sensor...any ideas?
Also, anyone else dealing with this? Just pisses me off...I got a sh*tload of money in this bike and because of my health I have to sell. This will make it difficult!!!!!

BUT, I just went out to the garage and my bike won't start in gear where I have the clutch lever adjusted. I re adjusted to a further point with the lever and bike will start in gear. Next time I ride I'll set the lever to the further point to see if the raised isle goes away.
That idle raising up slightly does not annoy me to where I'd give up the adjustable levers because they have so many benefits and if I need to start in gear, it's just an easy turn of a dial to change the setting on the clutch lever.
PS: This is the third bike I've had these levers on but I always start the bike in neutral so maybe never noticed the inability before. The elevated idle didn't happen on my 2014 Street Glide or 2013 Vrod that I noticed.
