I have a 2018 RK Special with 3300 miles on it. Almost every time I come to a stop sign, stop at a traffic light, or stop to park, when idling, the bike goes into this very consistent, and slightly higher RPM cadence, kind of like DUD DUD DUD DUD DUD DUD at idle and stays there until I either begin releasing the clutch, or twist the throttle. None of my other bikes have done that, including the 114M8 Fatboy. I'm sure I can get a video of it, but I don't have one at this time.

 

Mine does the same thing. I thought it was the ETMS. Like its only running on one cylinder. Also have a 2018 RKS with 4k miles

 

Disengage the ETMS and see if still acts up.

 

How. I keep reading about roll the throttle forward and push I. But I have no I

 

It's covered in your owners manual. EITMS= ENGINE IDLE TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 

If your not gonna be any help WTF would u bother to post. I don’t have the manual with me. Honestly I’m not that bothered by it. But if someone does know feel free to post. If not it’s cool.

 

Turn ign switch On, push the engine OFF/Run switch to the RUN position. Push the throttle to roll-off position and hold. After 3 seconds, the cruise light will flash indicating the EITMS satus. Flashing green means it is enabled. Flashing Amber means it is off. Repeat the procedure to enable or disable EITMS. Page 109 in owners manual.

 

In other words if flashing green, roll off throttle and roll back on and hold til flashing amber.

 

Hilarious thread!

 

Thanks. I bought my bike preowned, and it did not have a manual. However there is a manual online. I will check it out, thanks for your help.
