Throttle by wire issue
Heads up....for those of you have an 08 with Throttle by wire...there is an issue....when you are shutting down the bike...leave the throttle at idle...if you move the throttle during shut down..the computer will remember where the RPM's were last set...this will be your new idle..
This happened to me this weekend....there is no HD fix yet...but there is a temporary fix...
1. Turn your ignition on and off 4 times.
2. Turn your throttle to full open and 0ff 4 times.
Start the bike...it should return to the normal idle setting...
Good luck.

RE: Throttle by wire issue
The procedure I read calls for turning the kill switch to on and then turning the ignition switch to on for four seconds (now changed to ten seconds) and then off again. This is to be done four times. This is straight from my '08 Touring Model Service Manual.

RE: Throttle by wire issue
I know a couple weeks I had an issue with mine running up like that. I think I had about 300 some odd miles on the SG. mine hasn't done it since and I have almost 600 on it now. I seriously was going to make an appointment with the Stealer because I thought I had an issue.
