Idling issue service bulletin
Rumor has it that Harley has a serice bulletin out, or soon will, about idling issues on the 2018 trikes . Don’t know if any other models or years are affected, but I’m told it has to do with a “ stumbling” when the engine is cold causing a possible Stall which in turn becomes a safety issue.......anybody else heard about this?

It's off.
She's hitting on both cylinders but very unstable at idle, as if a vacuum leak.

Mine has shown this a few times and died out twice, going to stop by the dealer tomorrow and find out what the deal is. It’s supposed to be a reset of the computer and take about 5 minutes to do a reset.....we’ll see!!!

I noticed my 17 TG idles better with 93 octane fuel. The manual says to use 91 or better so I try to do that every time.
