2011 SG with high idle speed issue
Hi Everyone. I have come across a strange issue. My 2011 started idling high yesterday while out for a ride. I did lookup similar issues (most were for the 2008 models (which I also have one of) but nothing for the newer bikes. Sometimes it idles as high as 2200. I am thinking it's a vacuum leak and the computer is compensating for the lean condition. I am going to take it apart to night to see. Otherwise it runs fine. It seems to happen after a run at highway speeds . I have tried the reset by cycling power etc but it comes right back. As an experiment I reloaded my tune with my power vision. No effect. Also when playing with live idle it says " desired idle speed and it's set for 1000. even though it's idling at 1700. No codes have shown up ? Any other ideas? Leaving on a long trip to Sturgis on Friday so would like to solve prior . Thanks for any help and or ideas.

An old trick in the auto world is to run propane around the intake system and it it changes the idle in a certain spot you found the leak. Make sure you don't light the propane torch first.. LOL... had a guy do that when I worked at Jasper Engines and he called back and yelled at us for not telling him not to do that. LOL
The other thing could be a leaky injector. suppose to open and close, not dribble

Got it fixed ( I hope hahahahah). Thanks for feedback. Didn't think of leaky injector. I took it all apart. Was expecting lose intake bolts. Nope! So dug deeper. Intake seal looked knarly. Cracked and chewed up? Replaced and cleaned map sensor as I was in there anyways. Reassembled. Rode for 20 min. Idles down perfect every time so I'm hopeful that was issue! Thanks again for feedback
