I've noticed recently on my 2006 Lightning that as I pull up to the traffic lights the engine RPM seem to hang around 2000 RPM then settle down to the normal idle. It takes about 20 seconds for the engine speed to drop. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what was the fix?
Regards,
Bill

This happens when the idle is set too high. Warm the bike up, then adjust the idle screw, you only need to lower it a hair.

Awesome! Thanks mate. I'll give it a try.
