Default High idle

I seem to have a higher than normal idle, about 1200 rpm.
How do you reset it? Cycle the power on and off?

I changed the oil today and when I started it up afterwards the idle was high. Shut it off and restarted, same thing. Shut it off and came back an hour later, same thing. Maybe it just needs to warm up, I dunno, never done this before.

Without touching the throttle at all, cycle run switch 4 times, about two seconds each position.

This has the keyless ignition. So I just cycle the kill switch 4 times then?

I'll try that tomorrow.

Yes, I have a '15 CVO Limited, that is why I said the "RUN" switch, the same switch you call the kill switch, I call the run switch. Yes, cycle it 4 times and do not touch the grip at all, and do not hit the start switch.


When you shut the bike down, the last time before the high idle, you had the throttle twisted slightly or you hit the "KILL" switch (just as you like) before the bike idled all the way down, and the bike now has that position set as idle, so you need to let it know the proper position of the TGS, and that is how you calibrate it. Make sure to always shut the bike down at idle, and hand off throttle, in other words, push the "KILL" switch with your right index finger, this is the best insurance that your hand is totally off the throttle and it is at idle, unless you have freakishly long fingers and they can wrap all the way around the grip and still reach the buttons.

Thank you. I must have done as you said without realizing it. I'll pay closer attention in the future. First time for everything I guess. Haha
