I had to cut my Des Moines rally trip short because my bike would not idle. Last month, as I was taking my bike in for it's 36,000 service, the bike would die at stop lights, i.e. when the throttle dropped to idle. I mentioned this to the tech, but didn't see any mention of it on my bill. I rode the bike a couple of times after the service call with no problems.
However, yesterday afternoon, on my way from the rally to my hotel, the bike again stopped running at traffic lights, but I made it to the hotel. About 6 AM, this morning, I checked to see if the bike would idle; it did not. It'd run if the throttle was held above 2000 rpm. And, it would also start.
Of course, after a 146 mile tow to my dealer, it started and idled fine for the technician.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
