Hey guys. I bought my 2005 classic 2 weeks ago. I’ve put about 400 miles on it in some not so perfect spring weather.
I noticed once before it seemed like the idle hung high when I was pulling in my driveway but chalked it up to me not letting off the throttle fully. Today I did a little over 100 miles. At the end of my ride I noticed that when I went to shift gears it didn’t seem to be idling down correctly. What I found was that it was sitting at around 1800 RPMs when I went to shift. If I pulled the clutch it surged to 2200~ then settled back to 1800 then 10~ seconds later it would settle down to its normal 850 idle rpm. Giving it a rev seemed to do nothing to help. I decided to pull into a boat launch and turn it off to see what would happen. Sat there maybe 5 minutes and fired it up. No problems. Rode the 2 miles home from there and no issues.
I’ve done a bit of reading on here and have quite a places to look. The only think is I’m not sure where to start. I’ll lube all the linkages but it doesn’t seem like that’s the issue with how it’s behaving.
The bike has 14,500 miles.
In 2017 at 10,200 miles the Idle speed controller, throttle position sensors, idle speed controller and air pressure sensor where replaced by the dealer. In 2018 the bike had a no start condition. Prior owner had it brought to an independent shop. They replaced the fuel tank and filter, cleaned injectors, swapped out a relay (doesn’t say which) and flushed brake fluid and replaced lines.
In 2020 new tires and wheel bearing where done.
Prior second owner bought the bike not running. It has sat for a while. He also did a bunch of work to it himself but I don’t know all of that. Anyway bike runs great now other than this idle issue.
Do any of you experts out there have any ideas where I should start to look?
I do have tuneecu but I haven’t plugged into the bine yet. I’ve always run carbureted bikes so all the electronics is new fun for me.
