My 07 Super TT with 750 miles on it starting idling at 1500 rpm the other day. Up till that point it had always idled around 1000 rpm. I took it in to the HD/Buell shop and had the 1000 mile service done on it figuring the tech would catch it. When I got the bike out of service it idled fine but when I went 20 miles down the road and stopped at a gas station it started iding at 1500 rpms again. I simply took my index finger and thumb and backed off the idle control underneath the airbox cover. Now it consistently idles at 1000 rpm again and acts fine. Yes, I prolly should have told the tech going in that I had a problem with high idling but I didn't. The HD Buell shop is quite a bit aways from where I live and I don't want to have to take it back again unless I absolutely have to. I have read on the board that a high idling problem can sometimes be caused by intake leaks. Should I worry about this problem being caused by an intake leak and take my bike back in to the shop or should I just go about my merry way? This is my first Buell so inquiring minds want to know as they say. |

You might want to check to see if there is a little slack in the throttle cables. If there is insufficient slack, there could be a slight tension in the cable that pulls open the throttle plate, especially if the handlebar is turned all the way to the left or right.
I'd make sure to verify that there is a leak before taking it to the dealer if the bike is under warranty. |

they may have just set the tps by the book deg posted. as thats a guideline to the setting. if they set the tps by the book and reset the afv. then the bike was actually asking for more fuel. the idle was low and they over turned the tps to get the idle up. but when you rode it it learned the afv adding the needed fuel. then the gain of fuel on a higher tps made the idle to go up.
this works like this only when the tps is too high and the ecm is getting the air. if not the ego will pull back fuel in the idle area.
its a simple area once you figure it out. confusing at first but simple.
if you idle is choopy set the rear riming the lower six zero boxes to a 5 and the front same spaces to a 8. then it will idle smoother and higher allowing a lower tps deg. same rpm. shoot for a 975 to 1000 rpm.
