Default Rough idle and stalling
Hi Guys, 2014 SG Rushmore. Recently out of the blue, bike started idling erratically, hunting between 800-1100 RPM. Eventually will stall. Happens as soon as the bike warms up. ETMS is disabled, IACV is clean. Looking for suggestions as to possible causes. Thanks in advance.

I would remove the battery cable to reset the ecm. Maybe its got a hiccup.

Could even be loose battery cables, check them.

As a matter of curiosity, is there an IACV on the Rushmores? Believed they were eliminated somewhere around 07 or 08.

Have you checked for error codes ? Check and post back , could be Temp sensor or crank case sensor , or possibly just bad gas .
