Default 07 SG dieing at idle...

My 07 SG is all of a sudden dieing on me... I will be driving down the highway and when I have to eventually stop... the idle will get a little rough and then die... I hit the buton and it starts right back up and idle's fine until I get going again and then when I stop it does it again... it did this about 5 times on Saturday... it is stock except air cleaner, true duals, and H-D download... only has 7K miles on it... think it needs a PowerCommander and a good dyno tune? Could it be bad gas? Please help if you can... Thanks!

There was a thread on this issue not long ago but I can't find it. An SB was provided by Dawg in a PDF file, however, and I saved it--so if you'll email me I'll send it to you.

Enging temperature sensor may be bad. Had that same thing happen on my '97 & '02 Ultras!----- New sensor was the fix for them.

There was another thread on here also. I had the same problem and it ended up being the idle set screw. It looked like it never had locktite on it from the factory. It was messed up too. I took it out and put a new screw in, set the butterfly and have not had a problem since. The only deference is sometimes I would also have a high idle. Either problem I could restart the bike and it seemed to go away for a few miles.

+1 on engine temp sensor or O2 sensor - both feeding bad crap will screw with idle.
