I was riding home this evening and I decided to get it up to a 100mph. Then I decided to pull in the clutch and just let it idle while I coasted. But then it started to act like it wanted to die. The lights flickered a little and idled rough. So I let the clutch back out and everything went back to normal. Why do ya'll suppose it sputtered like that?

 

It might just be confusing the ecm. Hi speed on the speedo but low fumes in the exhaust? So don't do that.

 

+1, why would you want to?

 

Patient: "Doctor. My arm hurts when I do this."

Doctor: "Then don't do that."

 

High rpm, throttle position sensor at zero.

Lucky you let out the clutch slow enough or you would have seen the engine braking potential of a Harley twin.

 

Because I'm curious. What's the saying about the curious cat? Of course I won't do that anymore. I just thought it was kind of interesting.

 

You weren't going fast enough.
