I had an issue with my Rocket today that I'd not experienced before.
When I started it cold, it was fine. Ran perfect. Rode it about 50kms and shut it down. Walked around for a couple of hours then got back on the bike, started it and rode it another 50kms or so. So far, no issue.
Went into a store for 10 minutes then came back out, started the bike and it would not idle. As soon as I let go of the throttle, it would stall. Couldn't get it to idle without holding the throttle up a bit.
When riding at low throttle, it would stumble and run rough. Open the throttle more and it would clear it's throat and go hard.
Waited a few hours for it to cool down and started it again. No problem.
So it seems I'm only having this issue when starting the bike while it's still warm.
Has anyone had this kind of issue before. Do you know what the problem is likely to be?
