Rough Idle
Can anyone tell by the video sound what may be causing the rough idle?

It is hard to tell if something is rattling around in the motor or if it is detonation from the video. If it is detonating is there a miss fire when you ride it? Or does it run smooth threw the Rpms and just idle bad

Starting it up every 3-4 days,and not riding= good way to ruin an engine.First thing I would do is drain the gas tank and put in some fresh gas and a shot of seafoam.Clean the air filter and change the oil.

To update had Harley come to pick it up. Driver who came to pick it up said it just needed to be ridden and warmed up good first. So I had him leave it at his suggestion.
Rode good once warmed at first, same problems at start up. Now when I tried to ride it it bucks, stumbles, sounds like spitting or air coming back through throttle body and stalls. Give it throttle and the rpm's go up but do not gain any speed.
So Harley supposed to pick up and take back to shop Tomorrow. Hope they find the problem.

Dealer called today and said the fuel pump regulator is cracked and there is a pin hole in the line in the tank so wasn't get enough fuel to engine. Also said the check valve was sticking.
