Default FNG

Hey felow riders - I'm a recent transplant from LA to NW Washington. I grew up in Buffalo NY so I'm not overly concerned about the weather - not much worse than winter inBuffalo. This place is beautiful and so far I'm enjoying the changing seasons.So Calhas seasons too but I never really got used to "Fire" as a season.

I don't want to make my first post a bonner so can any recommend the best place to post a question about a fast idle problem I'm having on real cold mornings?

2004 Road Glide
Stage 1 w/ Race Tuner Ignition Module
25,000 Miles
Recently Dyno Tuned 77 HP - 79 Torque (fast idle before and after tune)

Welcome to the forum and welcome to Washington. Wait until December and onthrough February. You will find out winter is MUCH better here than Buffalo. However, summer isn't as nice. You'll be able to tell its summer because the rain's warmer. Compared to LA? At least you can breath the air up here and it is beautiful. But you won't get as much riding here as you did in SoCal.

As stated before, check the tech forums for your problem or do a search on "fast idle" and see what others have had to say.
