Default 07 Night Train

I just installed a set of V&H short shots, Force winder intake and power commander and what a difference it made. The bike runs great except that the idle at times doesn't seem to want come down after riding for awhile. Any ideas about what could cause the idle problem.

Also, I notice everytime I ride it appears as though there is something spraying (looks kind of like oil) on the front of the of my denim black fuel tank. It could be from the road, but the roads were perfectly dry in 90 deg heat.

The spraying is the grease ,breaking down from the heat, in the neck. Its doing the same to mine. Its dripping out of the bottom.

If you havnt done it yet. Set your PC throttle position to 0. I have also had this problem

I had the dealer do all the installs and work,. Is the PC throttle position something I can change by turning or flicking a switch,, OR does it have to be done using a laptop and hooking it up?

You have to hook it up to a laptop. I would assume they would have done it. Hey, If they installed it, take it back and have them correct it.

Yeah, It's going back to them today. I also noticed that one of my rear foot pegs keeps falling down while riding. The dealer said they have had complaints about it because Harley uses a pin on the '07's instead of a bolt/nut, and that I should replace the pin. I let them know that if it requires a bolt & nut then harley should be paying for it not me. You would think that if you spend 17K you wouldn't have to spend a few bucks for a bolt to fix something.
