Default Throttle reset
I have a 2018 SGS and have tried several times to reset the idle by turning and and turning off ignition 10 times for 10 second intervals and can’t get it to work. Is there another method I can do myself?

I did my Road King the other day. I just cycled the on and off switch 4 or 5 times and the cut the main switch to off. Maybe waiting 10 seconds is to long, I just waited a second or two.

With run sw on and ign off, turn ign on, after you hear electronics complete their cycle, turn off the ign repeat 4 more times.

Tricky, do you have any long-haired pedal steel-playing relatives in Florida?
