RE: Idle
seems you may be experiencing the false home or 0 on the throttle by wire. \\; \\; Cycle the ignition switch on to off 4 times. \\; you shold be able to start it on the 4rth cycle and idle should be in the normal range.

RE: Idle
Here's something new (at least for me) regarding what causes the fast idle problems. \\;\\\\\\; A sales guy told me that it's caused when you roll the throttle into the negative detent - past the regular stopping point - and pull the front brake lever at the same time. \\;\\\\\\; Anybody else ever hear this? \\;\\\\\\; He seemed to know what he was talking about. \\;\\\\\\; Also, he's the only one I've ever talked to who had \\;\\\\\\;actually "heard of it".
 \\;\\\\\\;
Good luck,
 \\;\\\\\\;

Add one thing be sure and wait for engine light to go out each time....you will then be back to factory setting.

RE: Idle
I've had the problem for months. My local HD service mgr said that MOCO knows about it and will be issueing a fix 'soon'. Should be a download. I hope it works. In the meantime, the switch on/off does the trick.
