Author Message   Joojoo Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2004 - 09:15 am:        I GOT MY DRUMMER! Sounds great, rider great! I have a Race ECM and Drummer now and love it! TPS was reset as well. One problem Im having though is this: My Buell has a tendency to hang at around 1500-1700RPM for a few second when coming to a stop or pulling the clutch before slowly settling back down to 1100RPM and idling fine. It does this when its hot. The b ike starts fine, goes fine and otherwise is perfectly in tune. Any ideas on why the RPM hangs high and then settles? Has anyone else dealt with this? Jack   Hogs Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2004 - 09:21 am:        I wd. guess your idle is just set a little to high ...try adjusting it down just a touch when its hot had same plm. with mine and that fixed it....   Lovematt Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2004 - 09:24 am:        Idle might be set too high. Mine did this for a while and I simply carry an allen wrench for the adjustment screw next to the left side air scoop (while sitting on bike). I rode as I normally did and raised the idle until it sticks like you said...then lowered it to around 1100. Kept riding and it would change slightly (usually a big lower to around 1000) and I would slowly raise it just a tiny bit. I got to a point where one raising adjustment made it stick slightly and backed it off to where it was...been staying at 1100 for about 2 months now. Yes they are finicky but I call that character. My dad has a 1958 Matchless that is has A LOT more character if you know what I mean. Still a bunch of fun to ride though. edited by lovematt on July 04, 2004   Signguy Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2004 - 11:54 am:        My XB9 did the same thing when I bought it. The dealer switched the ECM to fix it.   M1combat Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2004 - 01:25 pm:        I doubt there's an ECM switch needed. I can't think of anything that could fail in the ECM which would do that. I concur on the idle=too high thing.   Signguy Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2004 - 11:00 pm:        I thought the same thing but they put in a new ECM and all has been well ever since.   Wyckedflesh Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2004 - 11:50 pm:        When my idle was doing that, and I played the adjustment game, someone mentioned that the TPs might be off just a little so I went and had the TPS reset. Solved the hang up and idles perfectly at 1050.   Blake Posted on Monday, July 05, 2004 - 01:40 pm:        Either poor idle setting or poor TPS zeroing. Either could cause idle speed problems. I think the TPS zero calibration is the most likely candidate.   Jasonxb12s Posted on Monday, July 05, 2004 - 04:23 pm:        I had the same thing happen with the setup you are using...Turn the idle down a hair...It'll fix it..
