I just got a new used Uly, and am in the process of doing a bit of maintenance. One thing I notice is that when I've got the engine running at speed, if I grab the clutch and release the throttle it takes it a while to get back down to idle speed. It will hang around 2000-1500 rpm for perhaps 30 seconds and then settle down to 1100. I thought it was the throttle cables, and replaced those. That helped a LOT (it used to hang around 3000 rpm for a while) but it didn't entirely get rid of the issue. I remember seeing some posts about this in the past, but I can't find them. What should I check for? Intake leaks? | ||

Mine used to have that exact problem but hasn't for well over a year. Only thing that I've done is an ECMSpy TPS reset at the 10,000 mile mark. Now have over 16,000 miles. Some where along the line I also had the ECM reflashed from 06 to 07 spec because of the holes I added to the airbox. | ||

Try lowering the idle. Mine did that when I set the idle a tad high. Try the simple stuff first of course. | ||

As stated, lower your idle to 900 - 1000. The factory says 1050 but sometimes even that's too much and will cause your problem. | ||

750 if you want are deeper more harley sounding idle  | ||

Plenty of discussion on that in past threads. Do a search and you'll find lots of info. | ||

Yeah, several of us went through that problem when the '06's were new. The idle speed would float or hang at 2000 or so then slowly come down a little. The book called for 1050 idle speed which was right at the breaking edge of when the ECM would take over from idle. I have been running mine at just under 1000 and never have seen the problem again. | ||

Intake seals...... | ||

My X1 did much the same thing when it got hot. The solution was to set the idle at 950. Been that way since. The specs are too high. I wish I could just turn my 2008 down too but the computer has my bike! |
