lol
but with the throttle completely closed and im lightly touching the breaks?
once it had warmed up, when i close the throttle, lightly break n leave the clutch out it normally slows down and will sputter to a stall if i dont pull the clutch in.
but when it was cold, first few minutes, it will cruise forward with the throttle closed.
maybe this is a harley thing? i dont know, this is my first harley, but iv been riding for 4-5 years and closed throttle normally produces engine breaking and slows you down.
as i said, once its warmed up it seems to play nice n act normaly
You have an EFI bike, and when it is cold the idle is higher than when it is warm. The faster idle is what is preventing engine braking, at slow speeds.

thanks, that was my initial thought but because iv had no harley or EFI experience in the past i wasnt sure if it was that or if something was wrong
