Default Unknown Problem....Please help.....
Today I took my 2007 Street Bob out and noticed that if I slowly released the clutch my bike would move without me even giving it gas. Can anyone help with a diagnosis.

Thanks........

Its normal. You have a problem when you let out the clutch and the bike doesnt move.

That is how a clutch works.
Sounds like a troll question!

You have too much torque. Take it back to the dealer and have it detuned.

I believe there is a green "N" on your message center (speedo). If you see the "N" lit up, Then you can let the clutch out andthe bikeSHOULD NOT MOVE.
