haha... so simple.

Thanks a million folks. Now I have my answer. I was so worried..

That's what did it for me too -- the ol' rollin' stop! Then, the next morning, my bike has a funky idle or it stalls until I blip the throttle.

Thanks for the reset info!

Had this problem today on my 08 SG. The reset trick worked for me.

Thanks,
