07 Fatboy Help on Idle Problem!
I have a 07 fatboy 7000 trouble free miles, lately as the bike gets hot it will not idle back down, the cut off and restart thing doesnt work. let it cool off starts and idles fine go for a ride and stop at a light and the idle is a little low as if its getting ready to cut off then idles back up, when it gets hot you can ride 35mph in 3rd gear like cruse controll, rap the throttle and it gets higher? checked cable and butterfly is closing properly, bike did this several times over the last few months, but will do it on every ride now. any help will be thankfull, and Thank You in advance...

My first thought, air leak.
after it warms up, spray some carb cleaner around the outside of the intake / throttle body, if there is a leak the idle will change.
Just a thought.

As far as mods just vance and hines big radus pipes and , fuel commander, I will try the carb cleaner on the intake this evening, havent given up any codes to date, as far as warranty it was over 8 months ago, go figure, trying to avoid the hit in the rear by local dealer if at all possible. thought that someone else may have had same problem as mine. Thanks Again For your Thoughts and help.
