Have a 2005 vrod with Scream'in Eagle package with 4,000 miles on it. Just got the ride from a HD dealer. My question is:
The bike idles awful with about a 300 RPM surge. Brought it back to the dealer who stated "thats not right". Picked it up today and it still does the same thing. Dealer now says it is normal. Contaced HD and was advised that the dealer did look there for assistance and was told by a tech that it was normal. Does anyone have this bike and have this issue?
