Default Fast Idle
I have a 08 Ultra. I did a stage 1 build over the winter. I seem to get the fast idle problem almost daily. Is there something besides the olde on-off, on-off deal to solve this problem? Does it have anything to do with running richer FAM?

Thats what I was going to suggest the on-off-on-off thing five times. Works for me. If you roll the throttle forward do the rpms go down??

This worked for me.I unplugged my ECM of 20 min, then plugged it back in, went around the corner and made sure it was at a normal idle before turning it off.
