wouldn't idle
On my way to church this A.M. when stopping at the first two stop signs the engine would stall out. \\; Thereafter I had to rev engine while stopped, dang I was upset.
 \\;
Upon leaving church and firing it up, the scoot would idle (normal idle) without stalling out. \\; Headed on home and the sucker would idle when stopped. \\;
 \\;
I always use 93 octane and only have 15K miles.
 \\;
Any words of wisdom?

RE: wouldn't idle
Had the same problem with my 07 Ultra. \\; Dealer told me this is a known problem with some of the 07's. \\; I forget what they called the part. \\; They could not get the bike to duplicate the problem, but they told me they check that part and it was very worn so they replaced it under warranty.

Mine does that too...Frustrating as hell...Was in the dealer the other day and told the service manager that I want them to keep the bike and ride it till they fix it on the next service interval. \\; Had it in several times and get the, "Runs good for us" deal. \\; SM said they would drive it for a few days and he thought it was possibly a fuel line issue inside the gas tank. \\; Sometimes it idles great and others it sux. \\; It always recovers to normal idle speed although it will stall at times. \\; I can kill the engine with ignition switch or handle bar switch \\;and it runs fine on restart. \\; SM asked me to pay attention to the fuel level and see if it had the problem at a particular fuel level.

Don't let them fool you into spending hourly rates to find the problem.

My guess is it's \\;the transmission speed sensor. It is mounted on top of your transmission held in with an allen screw. You can pull it out and whipe off all of the metal residue with a rag which was created from breaking in the tranny and see if that fixes your problem. It is a magnet. Once it gets dirty, it can't tell how fast the tranny is spinning so it will die all the time and your turn signals will also stop turning off automatically while under way.
 \\;
It it was real bad clogged up, and cleaning it does not fix the problem then replace it. $60.00. It is burned up if it was dirty too long.
 \\;
Hope it helps.
